I've been going nuts over this, too, but Bob pointed me into an easy
fix. When I checked DevicePath, I found that not only was
%SystemRoot%\inf present, there was some added stuff that included a
temp entry for my ActionTec modem. I deleted the temp stuff, plugged
the drive in and it was instantly recognized. Thanks to you all and
Bob! :-)

Hi,
I also had a problem with usb 2.0 devices not working in windows xp
sp2.
I decided to try Bob's registry fix.
when I went into the registry I could not find %SystemRoot%\inf listed
under DevicePath.
I edited the DevicePath entry by adding ; %SystemRoot%\inf after the
only other entry there.
I rebooted my machine, inserted the flash drive, nothing!
In device Manager I found the drive listed with a yellow exclamation
mark as always. I right clicked on it, and clicked on reinstall driver
and voila the new hardware wizard found and installed the driver and
gave my flash drive a drive letter. All is well.
Thanks Bob, you're a lifesaver

My daughter got an iPod for Christmas and my computer is not recognizing the
USB drive when she tries to download songs. I contacted the maker of my
computer (Gateway) and they walked me through some steps but none worked. Is
there something easy that I can try.....I am not a computer guru. My
daughter is driving me crazy!!
