for a driver and i dont know why. It was working great before. Somebody

kenneth11414,

Try deleting the Infcache.1 file located at C:\Windows\inf, scroll down to
the file and delete it. You may have to give yourself permission to do so by
right clicking the file and selecting Properties and then Security. Deleting
this file often fixes problems such as you have because the file has become
corrupted. It does no harm to remove the file, even when it has nothing to
do with the problem.

If you had XP or an ealier version of Windows on your machine when you
purchased the Sun Glasses, it might have worked using a generic driver that
ships with that OS or was installed using Windows Update. In that case, the
driver would have carried over when you upgraded to Vista (providing it
wasn't a clean install).

If you had Vista when you bought the glasses and it worked without you
installing a driver for them, you possibly had the latest updates for Vista
at the time and a generic driver was suitable for the glasses. Try getting
the latest updates. Failing the recognition of a suitable driver for the
glasses, go to the manufacturer's website and look for an XP or Vista driver.

i thank you both fore getting back. Im still having a problem, i deleted
that file in the INF folder and still there are no drivers for the the
sunglasses. Is there a way where I can trick to think that it running under
XP. Also there are many people from other sites saying the same thing like
me. Is Microsoft going to make an update to fix this problem ?
