Vista Update Causes USB Problems

A recent Vista update is causing headaches for users with USB devices.
Microsoft last week re-released a software update intended to provide performance and reliability enhancements for Windows Vista -based and Windows Vista Service Pack 1-based systems. It was one of eight security bulletins and updates the company made available on April 8.

Users who installed the update, however, soon found their USB devices unresponsive, particularly mice and flash drives. Removing and re-installing the programs reportedly did not immediately solve the problem.

Microsoft confirmed the bug, but declined to provide further details. Read the full story at PCMag.Com found via Bink.Nu

    Vista sucks period. I don’t know what Microsoft is smoking but SP1 is a waste of time. I have to use my PC for certain software that cannot be run in my iMac G5 and also for work I have to deal with Vista daily. It absolutely blowingly sucks. And SP1 is a waste of everyone’s time. And the update is incompatible with 90% of people’s computers out there. After wasting almost an hour, the computer refuses to boot up only to revert back to previous state. What a colossal waste of time. Clearly, there are freaking useless morons working at Microsoft thinking way too highly of themselves. Useless pricks all of them. When I quit my job, I no longer have to stare at a PC. I will smash my laptop to bits and will go iMac G5 only! And only a damn moron would install MS Windows in the Apple computers. I hate PC maggots and I hate prepubescent worthless morons still saying PC is superior to Apple. Apple is the most superior computing that exists there today. PC sucks, Microsoft blows, and Vista fucking sucks!

    …anyone else ‘find’ their microphone disappearing from the list when you disable it? Only way to ‘enable’ is right click in a blank window of audio devices and pick “show disabled devices”.

    What’s wrong with the old icon with a red stripe through it? At least I know it is around.
