Perhaps I need to ask this question differently! How do I remove the USB drivers from my XP Pro system and then replace them with new/clean drivers? Where can I find USB drivers for a specific system. The manufacturer hasn't answered either! Is this a difficult task? I haven't had a single response on two posts in a week and wonder if there is somewhere I might go to find a solution? I would appreciate any ideas! Thanks.....
(XP Pro, 1gig/ram, new system)
I ran into some trouble when installing an old Epson printer on my new system. I wanted to run two printers and both have XP drivers in place. I lost the Status Monitor function on both printers following the installation of the 440. The Epson 440 was connected by the serial port and the newest printer, an Epson CX5400, is connected via USB. I've tried everything to re-establish the status monitor function with the CX5400 but have had no luck at all. I want to delete the USB drivers through the Device Manager but see there are several including 4 Intel Host Controllers and multiple Root Hubs. Should I delete all of these drivers? I'm following PC Magazine's recommendation to do this and they then suggest reinstalling all the USB drivers which should re-establish the status monitor function. Whether or not it works is to be discovered. Is removing all the USB drivers sound like a logical plan? If so, then I need to know where do I find all the correct USB drivers to re-install? I've got all the system disks, recovery disks, etc. but unsure which one would carry all the USB drivers in XP.
I'd appreciate the help of anyone with this information! Thanks for the advice!
