Code 38 - Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory.
My monitor driver displays a yellow fault icon in Device Manager. Okay, the Windows driver is installed to update controls and says it's the last and correct driver, but he is not able to load. Several reboots, uninstall/reinstall etc., do not make this work.
Thanks, I had already read a lot of answers to this question even where people say 'just run the troubleshooter', but is making the assumption that it is in fact an option of troubleshooting on the pilot. In my case, there was no.

Original title: Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error
Yesterday, I removed several components of windows to attempt to clean my cpu. After the reboot, I noticed that my DVD drive disappeared. I tried to update the driver but told me I have the most updated version, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drive, but I still get the same error. Under Driver Details, it shows that I have a lot of drivers for my Phillips DVD player. However, the status of the device is the following: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. I've done the troubleshooting, and the two options has not fixed the problem.
Then I tried to add windows components that I removed, thinking maybe that was the problem. However, when I try to add them, I get an error message that says: 'Setup cannot copy the file zClientm.ex_' it shows the location of this file as being in windows/i386, and of course, the file is located in this folder. So when I go to browse to locate the file, I find and click on it to open it, but I keep getting the same error message that the file is not found and Setup cannot continue.
I realize that this problem seems very rare and weird, but any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
Reference Dell 3000 win xp family, sp 2 card its replacement will not install right.
I just reinstalled windows on my Dell computer and have struggled to reinstall the different divers, applications and programs that I used to have. The long, everything went well, except for the audio part.
Windows Device Manager shows the icon replacement C-media with a yellow top warning label. Under "Properties", it shows this message: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.
I uninstalled and completely removed all traces of the drivers C-media, etc. of my computer, rebooted, reinstalled the driver C-media since the original CD (several times!), but the yellow warning label is always there! When I ask to reinstall drivers C-media a notice tells me I have the best drivers now.

- There is a problem with the file I/O process.
- A driver that refers to an entry point in another binary file cannot load.

Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.
Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
the question.Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or

If you try to insert two cards at the same time that would be normal given that the card reader is bound to a single channel of USB. It all depends on how your computer has been configured when it was built.
If you remove the first card and insert another card it is possible that you are not just right-click on the map in file Explorer and ejecting the card before you remove them.

Hello
USB devices remove all you can - restart the computer - is still there, the error? If it isn't
It is related to one of the add-in devices that you removed. If she is still there, then, the question is
either a device internal who can not remove or physically with the USB bus itself.
If it was not there, add devices at a time until it is displayed - keep in mind that it is
possible that there are two (or more) devices in conflict over the issue. Once you
identified the check of the aircraft with the help of the manufacturer.1. to find the control panel - device - device - right-click on it - uninstall - Manager then
Restart the computer to see if it clears.2. same place - double click on the device - driver tab - driver update - to see if that helps.
3. check with the support of system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems), their
online documentation and drivers, diagnostics and ask questions in their forums on all known
questions. Update the Bios and chipset or other USB drivers.=====================================
