I found that if all else fails instead of reloading your OS you can just back up your INF folder then delete the original and replace it with an INF folder from a different computer running the same OS. Then try reinstalling the device and it should install successfully.

Just wanted to add the solution that worked for me:

After installing Vista SP 1, my M-Audio Oxygen 8 stopped working. Got latest drivers from M-Audio web page — still not working.

Then I went into the Device Manager, looked up the M-Audio USB Keystation, clicked properties –> Driver –> Update Drivers. Thought I had the latest and greatest, but Vista downloaded *something*, and then it worked fine again.

Cheers.

I have the window’s vista home edition for my desktop pc. I have bought a M-Audio Keystation 49e midi controller. Window’s Vista doesn’t read it when I put the usb cable in the desktop. So I can’t use my midi keyboard for my fruityloops, reason,etc music making programs. I even went to the M-Audio website to download the driver. But the same exact thing. My midi controller works fine with the old windows and even for the mac. But not for the Windows Vista Home Edition. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I just want to make digital music on windows vista with my midi controller… :(

This is exactly the solution I was hoping to find… I recently bought a midi to USB cable which was advertised as a class-compliant device so I could capture piano music in Finale NotePad2008. The Vista PC says, “Driver cannot load” or something to that effect. The device manager shows VIEWCON with a yellow yield sign with a “!” on it. M-AUDIO.com has been trying to assist in helping resolve the problem but they have been stumped… I plan to try this solution and I pray that it works. I will let you know what happens.

Thank you…!

t’s probably a bad idea to simply replace the info already in DevicePath. Instead of simply replacing the value with “%SystemRoot%\System32″ you should add “;%SystemRoot%\System32″ to the end of what’s already there. DOn’t forget the semi-colon

@Pier: that’s really weird, as Vista for me boots a whole lot faster than XP. (Other complaints, but that’s not one of them … and that seems consistent on other machines, too.)

A coworker has Vista in his brand new 1800 dollars VAIO laptop.

He called me because he needed some info from an e-mail and it took me like 10 minutes to power on the computer and open outlook… not kidding 10 minutes when you’re waiting is a lot of time.

I follow a rule: never update to a new OS until a year has passed (minimum)

You’re very right there.
I didn’t search the internet for it, but I’m the kind of guy people call when their computer refuses to work.
It’s just that vista ships with drivers for that device, though not very specific ones. If it has drivers, it should load them without having to resort to manually assigning them in the device manager.

What I find most irritating is that vista generally tries to be smarter than you: enabling all kinds of stuff automatic and the constant bugging for your approval. It is very hard to turn all that off (especially with the redesign of the control pannel, I can’t find anything in there).

I’m most defenitely looking forward to what they’re going to do with SP1
