I've looked around and seen similar problems to mine but no answers yet
so here it is.
I'm running XP SP2 on Dell GX240's- 280's. All having been working well
until the latest batch of Microsoft updates. Now they all require any
every user to install any USB device such as a USB flash drive anytime
they access the usb port for the first time. After then they are OK
until they switch to another port and then the reinstall pops up again.
They have to log out and get an admin to login to do the install. This
happens on all accounts, even the admin. We can get the device install
window to pop up when we move the usb mouse or keyboard from one port
to a different one. As you can imagine this takes time for the lab
aides to go around for every user who may not be using the same
computer every day. Our temporay fix is to grant local admin rights for
each user so they can go through the device install themselves but this
is not a fix, only a work-around and not a good one from a security
point of view. In the past, all computers worked OK and never showed
the install device window, only the bubble that told you a new device
had been found and then was ready for use.
So my question is has anyone else run into this issue lately and had
any luck in finding a solution? We could do a system restore but our
top admin wants all the latest updates all the time so it may not be an
option.
Thanks everyone for your time.
