USB driver - The required line was not found in the INF


Recommended Posts

There's an audio recording device I use, called Cenix Digital Voice Recorder. The installation CD has the setup, which installs Power Voice II onto the computer; there's also a folder called "Driver" which contains two files: CenixFMC.inf (3KB) and CenixFMC.sys (19KB).

I have used this device earlier and it has worked. At present, when I try to install it, the Power Voice software easily installs, then when I connect the audio recorder by way of USB, XP gives the messages of found new hardware and the driver installation starts, but then the computer stops responding at the point where it shows files being copied between two folders. I've tried allowing it to automatically install the driver, I've tried pointing out the folder manually from the hard disk where I have copied it and the CD, and I've tried allowing it to connect to the net to find a driver, but nothing works. Each time, the computer stops responding and I have press the reset button.

When I tried to install it in Vista, the computer did not stop responding, but it gave a message that the required software could not be installed, and the reason it gave was "The required line was not found in the INF".

I've tried searching the net for drivers, but what I did found was the same stuff that I've got. I ran a CRC check for the drivers I have on my hard disk with the ones I downloaded, and they are the same.

There's another such post at a Vista64 forum, but there is no answer there:

In any case, both my OSes are 32 bit.

Anything to solve this prob?

The Device Manager shows these entries under Universal Serial Bus Controllers:

Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller

Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller

Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller

USB Root Hub

USB ROot Hub

USB Root Hub

When installing the drivers for Cenix, a separate section opens up for it (not in the Universal Serial Bus Controllers) with the exclamation mark, and when the thing finishes, that section vanishes.

Thanks.

Tried it, but it didn't work. In XP, nothing happens; I thought maybe it silently installed, but when I rebooted, there was nothing. In Vista, when I right-click and try to install, it gives the message that it can't be installed in this way.

Isn't there anything like a disk explorer for USB devices, so that it will just scan and show the files and then the files can be copied?

Its not a branded one; its P4 3.0 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, MB DG102GGC2 with onboard ATI Radeon eating 256 MBs of the RAM.

At present it is way more updated than it was some months back, when I used this device and it worked without any problem.

I think your board is "Intel? Desktop Board D102GGC2" as "DG102GGC2" gave no response at Intel

BIOS Version 1087

One of the fixes was "Disabled USB OHCI/EHCI MSI capability."

But to make absolutely certain you are best to click here: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/...b/CS-009015.htm and identify your board precisely

Sorry, its D102GGC2. Just a typo.

On this page, it shows the latest BIOS version as GC11020M.86A :

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/...b/CS-010639.htm

I used Faronics System Profiler, and in the BIOS section, its says:

SMBIOSBIOSVersion : GC11020M.86A.1087.2007.0130.1451

The link you gave, of the pdf file, shows this same number as the latest one, so my BIOS is up to date, but some kind of USB capability has got disabled. What should I do about it?

Thanks for the replies.

Tried Drive Cleanup, it removed 5 USB devices, 1 disk drive, 1 storage volume, and 7 registry key. Then I tried re-installing the driver, and again the computer stopped responding :(

Is it the USB OHCI/EHCI thing that is the culprit? Is there any way around it?

There's an audio recording device I use, called Cenix Digital Voice Recorder.

Only thing I can think of is its not compatible with your version of Windows (including Service Pack)

You may need to go to the Home site to see if there are any drivers updates or patches available

I haven't done this myself, as it may be best for you to check this whilst having all the hardware (and CD) and info (including model number and s/n) available

There may even be a forum

I have found a temporary solution. Since you mentioned the motherboad, I tried the device on my older computer, an Intel D845HV, Pentium 3, 256 MB RAM. The thing worked smooth as anything, and I could get the data out. But I have to get it working on this newer one.

@ kimsland

You have been a great help. Thanks a ton!

Edited by HydraHeaded

I've already tried that link that you've given, it didn't work.

Anyway, I found a solution. I have been trying to contact the guy from whom I bought this device, and finally he sent me an attachment by email, and when I installed it, the device has started working, on the new computer. I tried uploading the .exe, and then a zipped .rar here on the forum as an attachment, but it won't allow me to do it (maybe these extensions are not allowed?).

The attachment he sent was usb2em_0.9.exe (712 KB). I searched for it on the net, there's something here:

http://www.ts-market.com/products/?action=...8&prodId=11

These seem to be simply drivers, right?

Thanks a lot, kimsland, for taking such an active interest! :)

I am now facing the same problem as HydraHeaded, with my Cenix Voice Recorder.

I tried the link posted by HydraHeaded (in the quoted post above), but it seems the usb2em_0.9.exe (712 KB) driver is no longer there. (Now it seems they require you to have bought an Edic product from them and have a valid serial number, in order to download their drivers.)

Does anyone here have the usb2em_0.9.exe (712 KB) driver? Or know where I can download it? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could reply below with a download link.

Thanks!

    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in March, Sony increased PlayStation 5 prices, and now, it's Microsoft's turn. Today, the company announced a major price increase that will affect all of its Xbox consoles, and one storage option is being discontinued entirely. There is some time before the new prices go into effect. Starting on August 1, 2026, any Xbox Series X|S model with 512GB of storage will cost $100 more than now. The price of 1TB models will go up by $150 instead. At the same time, all 2TB models are being discontinued. "The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles," said the company. "Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make." As the hikes hit, Microsoft is beginning to offer more options to make its consoles more accessible to potential customers, including financing, buy now, pay later schemes, and refurbished options: Buy Now, Pay Later: We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments. Interest-Free Financing: Players purchasing eligible XBOX hardware through Amazon can take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control. Previously Played Consoles: We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players. Certified Refurbished Consoles: XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP. Microsoft said that the rising cost of storage and memory prices is behind this decision, with costs going up by over 2.5 times since the last time it raised prices of its consoles. The company says these parts are expected to double in price by the fall of 2027.
