I have a Vista Ultimate pc that is getting a USB Unknown device error. The nerror occurs with no USB devices plugged in. I go into the device manager and uninstall the unknown device driver but it comes back on reboot. I disabled the onboard USB ports in setup then rebooted but when i turn the ports back on the unknown device error comes back.
