HELP! ---USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE - Driver Disabled
Hiya,
hoping someone can help please. repp will be given.
I usually used my thumbdrive at work, but since a last software update on the machines. the driver for this has been disabled.. Im wondering if anyone knows how to re-activate this?...
I checked in system, and the information for the USB MASS STORGAE says:
A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.
But in device usage it says "Use this device (enable)"....??
I reckon i need to change something using regedit but dunno what..
any ideas?

its already on enable...
figured it out anyway..
Run regedit and navigate to HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\USBstor
change the value to a 3 to enable, and 4 to disable under "START"....
- dam IT and their meddling ways... lol....
I agree to either prevent spread of viri or to prevent data theft:thumbsup:
Just be careful, if its been disabled intentionally there will be a reason, tampering may be used as a grounds for dismissal.
i know.. but c'est la vie.... i aint robbing owt anyway.. not much to rob apart from work.. lol... and i dont want no work..
Very true. By the looks of things, everyone has admin rights - Definitely not a good idea. Then again, the machines might not be networked.
I work in I.T myself (software dev) for one of the top 3 banks in the uk. Jus so happens i had the admin password n added myself as a admin! Siick....
that just fills me with confidence that you develop the software and yet still had to ask us lot of cretins!:whistling:
