The device cannot start (Code 10) - driver issue?

[archcommus]

I got this error a few restarts ago with my USB PCI card and really have no idea what it means or what has changed. The card is sitting there plugged in just like always. The drivers didn't just magically disappear or anything. Any ideas?

Code 10

If the device has a FailReasonString value in its hardware key, that string appears as the error message. The driver or enumerator puts this registry string value there. If there is no FailReasonString in the hardware key, you receive the following error message:

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Recommended resolution

Device failed to start. Click Update Driver to update the drivers for this device. On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard. You could also try moving the card to a different pci slot.

Thanks. Do you know of any good NEC USB to PCI drivers? I'm pretty sure Windows always used its own, however. I tried searching for some but didn't get much.

I don't have any other slots available, would it make any different to power down, remove the card, power back up, power BACK down, reinsert the card into the same slot, and then power back up and let it redetect?

I did just that and it fixed it fine.
