Driver Installation Failure

jtchimesin · June 17, 2015

Alright, so this has been affecting me for quite some time now, around a year or so. So whenever I go to plug in a new device (whether it be a usb mouse, flashdrive, keyboard, controller, etc.), the driver never installs. It is always looking for a Windows update, sometimes it finds it, but 100% of the time it always pops up with a failure installing it. I am only able to use the keyboard and mouse that I started using about 2 years ago. This is rather unfortunate for me, as I new mouse and keyboard, as well as a game controller, just sitting on my desk collecting dust because they are unusable. I cannot use anything but the cheap hardware I have connected to the computer.

Futhermore, Windows update will not work at all. I have 14 drivers waiting to be installed in Windows update, including graphics adapters for my Intel chipset and nVidia graphics card, windows update, mouse software, display drivers, etc. Whenever I try to update them, it is always a failure or worse. Whenever I try to update the driver for my graphics card, it always ends up crashing after my required reboot and I have to plug in the display directly into my motherboard, and from there I need to do a system restore from earlier in order to actually get my displays and graphics card working again. This is extremely annoying as I want to update my drivers for various games, but cannot do so.

I have tried everything to try to get this to work, but have achieved no good results. I have tried manually downloading them from websites, from usb devices (I have only 1 that works with my computer), everything. I am positive the devices are working properly as they work just fine on any other computer I connect them to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
