Issue of "PCI simple communications controller" infamous with Acer laptop

So, in a few words, the computer does not recognize the usb flash drives. On every attempt to connect the device, the sounds "connect device" is played and about 3 our 10 times the "driver installation failed" message from Windows. In Control Panel, area of devices, the flash disk is marked as 'usb 2.0 device' in the category 'unknown '.

With the help of 3rd party software, the popular "unknown device identifier", "chipset Intel 7 series c216" were found in need of a driver. The WinUSB generic driver always worked perfectly for me on any machine up to now, well well so far, at least, so I install the supplied driver of Intel would be useless because I have not any usb 3.0 devices. I went down of Windows 8 (which was already installed on the computer acquisition) to Windows 7 for personal reasons, the funny thing is that I installed it with a digital copy through the flash disk usb that I try to open right now, by way of conclusion, the fault must be on the software.

My mouse works perfectly, be connected via a usb port, I even tried with the keyboard that I use for my desktop pc and also works.

So here are the things I tried and had no results:

-possibility to install the driver automatically with Windows Update (1st attempt failed to find; 2nd attempt, driver is found BUT access is denied)

-J' have that maybe if I uninstall the driver from "Device Manager", after a Windows restart should re - automatically installs the driver, but as above the same message "access denied."

-Downloaded the Intel driver (ME 9: engine management pilot), with the error "failed to install".

Is there a way to solve the problem of "access denied" so that Windows Update can take care of things? Or am I left with the only option of re - install everything again hoping that everything will work?

Details:

Windows 7 x 64

Laptop model: Acer Aspire E1-531 (link to the form: http://www.acer.co.za/ac/en/ZA/content/model-datasheet/NX.M12EA.009)

utilities of "driver finder" 3rd party frequently to be wrong and should be avoided, cleaning after a 'bad' driver installed can often lead to problems. You have available restore points?

The USB 2 driver will be a part of the Chipset Intel package. Re download all the Acer drivers and install their drivers only when possible. Laptop manufacturers often use updated implementations of standard chipsets and their drivers that will take into account.

Even if you do not use USB 3 devices, you should always install the necessary drivers to allow Windows to correctly list the material. Although the PCI Simple communication driver is often associated with the chipset Intel HECI/AMS-SOIL Management Engine, this device is not listed by Acer. It is also common with an analog modem.
