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!

    • The concern of this article is not getting "hacked". No one is taking over my Google account and anyone that was is far away from self-hosting their passwords. It was about your big tech account of choice deciding to reduce features or getting out of the password manager business altogether. Bitwarden (or say Proton) is professional security company offering opensource solutions. They are going no where and one can easily download or export their passwords to another password manager service regardless. They again also offer self-hosted option. I doubt many people were sold on this solution based on the write up. The author had a number of warnings and caveats themselves. A local, self-managed solution is not for 99% of users.
    • I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
