It's too bad it doesn't tell you what file it is. This has happened twice in our shop for two different machines with two different classes of devices. One was a printer and the other was a wireless network adapter (both were USB devices, though). After the typical chkdsk /r, getting a new driver download, etc, we have come to find out that reinstalling DirectX 9 fixed the problem. Why? I don't know, but if the system cannot find the file specified, try reinstalling DirectX 9 just in case.
Hope this helps someone.
I have this cases of "the system cannot find the file specified"
i solved it this way:
Go to Start » Run and enter "regedit"
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
With CurrentVersion Highlighted, go to the Edit menu and select New » Key
Name the key RunOnce – Leave everything else about the key alone.
i hope it helps.
Works fine, thanks a lot !!!!!!!
Legend it worked :)
Same problem but this didn't work for me. I have same problem trying to install any new drivers for any hardware. Would this concept be applicable to HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG?
I'm on Vista if that matters.
Adding the RunOnce key worked, my USB disk drive is now working! Thanks a lot!
