Yes...a webcam. I've tried two different webcams, at least one of which
worked fine previously in Vista (the second one (a new logitech) I just
bought two nights ago...vista compatible). Plugging in either produces the
same error. When I plug in my digital camera into the same usb port it
works fine (as a detected storage device).

I am interested in an answer to this question. My device has worked on Vista
but more times than not I get the message that is in quotes below. My device
is an external hard drive. Worked just fine on XP.

This solution has worked for some people with problematic USB devices:

Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf

Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit, and give
your account full control.

Delete INFCACHE.1, or rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or temporarily move to your
desktop.

REBOOT

Hi Cal Bear '66,
Thanks for the info but this did not fixed my problem. If anybody have
an idea do not hesitated to post.

Try this fix to see if it repairs your problem, Before Posting. This
solution has worked for
some people with problematic USB and General Devices:

1. Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf

2. Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit,
and give your account full control.

3. Delete INFCACHE.1 (Or just to be safe, rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or
temporarily move to your desktop but you shouldn't need to, windows doesn't
need that file to run, and if it needs to it recreates it).

4. REBOOT

Interesting, Jonathan:
I tried your suggestion, but Vista SP1 has gotten very touchy about
changes.
Got to Windows/INF/INFCACHE.1, made a copy (INFCACHE.Copy-1, the tried to
delete the orig., but after Vista went through its security dialog boxes, it
still wouldn't let me delete the file. I then tried to rename it
INFCACHE.BAK, but the same ritual transpired...Vista said no go again.
