On a WinXP with SP2 (ASUS A7n8X Deluxe motherboard ;) ). I tried to add a new USB device (some mp3 player) and it failed. At that point I started to play with USB host/devices drivers (uninstall/install). I also tried to install some sort of usb sniffer (snoopy pro maybe). After this everything went crazy. I wasn't able to reinstall any usb component, every install attempt returning: "cannot install hardware", "insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service".
After a while I figured out that there is something bad with registry so I tried several shareware programs like Registry Fix or Registry Mechanic. They didn't solve the problem. After one day of trying everything (including check disk) I found this thread: http://forum.osnn.net/pr...d.php?t=42411&pp=20
and after I found http://www.larshederer.h...line.de/erunt/index.htm
Using NTREGOPT I managed to reduce the hive size from 200Mb to 37Mb. After that I was able to reinstall all USB devices without a problem.
NTREGOPT is a great, free tool and better than payed software.
