It's what I expected.

Usbprint.sys figure 54 times more often in documents and settings. also in nt service pack driver PK. Ditto for usbmon.dll.

This is not the case.

1. open Windows Explorer and type C:\Windows\system32 into the address bar.
2. find usbmon.dll
3. right click on this file. Select properties, and then click the Version tab. Is - this version 5.1.2600.5512?  If not, is what version?
4. now, go to the C:\Windows\system32\drivers folder
5. what version is the usbprint.sys file?

You have a copy of each file in C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386?  If so, what are the versions of these files?

If the usbprint.sys and usbmon.dll in C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 files are identical (or older) versions that the corresponding files in C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows\system32\drivers, copy the C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 files into their appropriate folders.  Then restart.

  • 1330 error when you try to install the software main street

    Receive the following error message when you try to install the update of the software of Boulevard of Main Street Software, Inc. 2011 on a machine running Windows Vista 64 bit HP.

    File 1330.A error required cannot be installed because the file E:\Blvd\Data1.cab has an invalid digital signature. This may indicate that the file is corrupted. Error 8205 was returned by WinVerifyTrust.

    Another attempt to run this software update received the same message except the last line shows error 24592 was returned by WinVerifyTrust.

    I managed to install the software on a laptop then. I already tried to transfer all the content of DVD on my hard drive, then by running the Setup program, without success. I have also tried to run Setup in Windows XP compatibility mode, receive the same error message.

    It is about a Windows update that has caused similar problems for other users.

    There are many other causes mentioned in these links too.

    What have to say about this, if you contact the software factory?

    The reason why it happens a machine and not the other could be because some of your programs or the system is missing updates, have older versions of the software, or third-party programs interfere with the installation.

  • DIFx Driver Package install error = 536870141 when you try to install the MFL-ProSuite for a Brother MFC-J870DW printer all in one

    Hi everyone, I have read the various issues pertaining to the Brother software and the IS052 error that I got also.

    I spoke with brother two times and they tell me that I'm missing a driver and if I sent the error message DIFx Driver Package install error = 536870141 to Microsoft, they would be able to provide me with the driver I need.  Brother also had me try to install from the disk and also on their site and I got the same error.

    I am a home user, so not very technical when it comes to drivers, etc..  I know that you need.  So please don't you technique on me.  I have been messing around with this now for almost 2 weeks and can that copy and print.  I can't scan or fax due to this error when you try to install the software.

    I have the disk with the drivers on what I did when we first got the computer.

    I use Windows 7 64-bit.  I really need help so I hope that there is someone who can solve this problem.

    Thank you very much

    Karthik, sorry it took me so long to answer.  I hate it when people do that to me then again I am sorry.

    After trying your suggestions, nothing seemed to work so I asked my son who is a type of systems to help me.  I he provided with suggestions and error message, etc..  He read about all this and then remote connected my suburb.

    He renamed the errorlog and then tried to reinstall the Brother software and got the error.  He was then able to read this file was causing the error without reading through the tone of the error messages.  It turns out that there is a file that brother was looking for in one place, but it was in another.  He copied to where brother was looking for her, has done a reboot, loaded the software without problem.

    I am now scanning and everything works as it should.

    So maybe it's the same problem that others causing a problem.  If they can get the steps to find the error Log, look at the error message that is created in the error log, which will tell them what brother file cannot find and then go from there.

    I don't think I could have done myself, but he knew where to look for such things, and I don't have.

    Thanks again for all the help I got from this forum.

  • "Not enough memory is available to process your order" when you try to install the drivers

    Recently, I have problems when you try to install the drivers for a USB mouse that I have. When I plug the mouse, it detects it and tries to install the software but it gives me an error saying he found the software but can't install it because "not enough memory is available to process your order."

    I spent a bit of time, search tries to find a solution to this problem, and I tried a lot of things without success.

    I tried the things:

    -Manually installed the drivers. While I can install them, Windows does not recognize the drivers as being installed and the mouse still not working.

    -The fix IRPStackSize. It was not in the registry, so I thought this might be the solution, but it does not solve my problem.

    -Troubleshooting and repair of Windows Update. I had a memory leak problem with Windows Update, so I thought fix which would cure the problem. I was able to d/l an update that corrects this problem, but it does not solve the driver problem.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
