in vista/win 7 it was the infcache.1 file you deleted and magically your USB devices worked again once connected. this doesn't seem to exist in win8 so i'm wondering what the alternative is? i have a drive that doesn't work in one port and it's down to windows being stupid (yet) again. :thumbsdown:

1 google said to delete "C:\Windows\System32\config\drivers*" but i don't seem to have it

EDIT

appears this has been copied to superuser.com? pointed that out and my post there was deleted. hmmmm. is that a legit site?
