I own a 18 month old ACER Aspire 6930 that came with vista 64 Bit
Home Premium. Flashed with the latest BIOS.
Last December I did a new clean install of Win 7 Pro. ACER has
posted drivers for Win7 64 bit and the install was easy and
straightforward. The only apps I installed was Acronis, a handful
problem free non invasive freeware utilities, and a Hauppauge PVR
that records HD off a cable box. My plan is to turn it into a Media
box with my TV.
Everything runs great. ...except for one thing. I can not run any
of my MTP USB Devices. Not my cameras, my MS Zoom, or my Sandisk
Fume... nothing will install. Doesn't matter what port I put them
into I get a failed install, contact your manufacturer. They have
the yellow triangle in device manager and some mention of a
possible maybe corrupt file... the usual meaningless stuff.
I have tried all sorts of uninstalls and installs but nothing
works. It is a well known issue and not just for ACER as I found
mention of the same problems with Dells. Lots comes up in a Goggle
search, but no answers, at least that I can find.
Anybody have any ideas? thanks
In the old XP days, this would happen if the folder for the inf files
was mis-set. I think it was HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows -
DevicePath. It needed to be set to %SystemRoot%\inf
