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!

    • Look up 'inflation' kid. Ask an AI for the numbers between both games.
    • Google reportedly set to lose two key Gemini and DeepMind researchers to Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly preparing to lose two more prominent artificial intelligence researchers, with Gemini contributors Jonas Adler and Alexander Pritzel planning to join rival AI developer Anthropic. According to a report from Bloomberg, both researchers are viewed internally as important contributors to Google’s flagship Gemini model family. Adler worked on Google’s AI coding efforts, while Pritzel was involved in the process used to train AI systems. Neither company has publicly confirmed the moves. The report also does not say when the researchers will formally leave Google or what positions they will hold at Anthropic. Training a large AI model requires decisions covering its architecture, data preparation, distributed computing infrastructure, and post-training methods that shape how the finished system behaves. Researchers with experience operating at the scale of Gemini are consequently difficult to replace quickly. Both Adler and Pritzel have previously contributed to Google DeepMind’s scientific research as well. They are listed among the authors of the company’s work on expanding AlphaFold protein-structure predictions across entire proteomes, alongside AlphaFold researchers including John Jumper. The reported departures arrive shortly after another important change within Google’s Gemini organization. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving Google for OpenAI, after returning to the search company in 2024 through its deal with Character.AI. Shazeer is particularly well known as one of the authors of the Transformer paper, whose architecture became the foundation for most modern large language models. Anthropic, meanwhile, has been recruiting recognizable figures from other leading laboratories. OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy joined Anthropic’s pre-training team in May. His move, followed by the reported recruitment of several Google researchers, suggests Anthropic is strengthening the research teams responsible for the core capabilities of future Claude models rather than concentrating solely on product and enterprise sales. The competition is complicated by the companies’ extensive commercial relationships. Anthropic competes directly with Google’s Gemini models, but it also relies on Google as an infrastructure partner. In April, Anthropic announced an expanded agreement with Google and Broadcom covering multiple gigawatts of next-generation Tensor Processing Unit capacity. TPUs are Google-designed accelerators used to train and run large AI models. via Bloomberg
    • This article makes my head hurt. Lots of confusing words
    • Google adds built-in computer control to Gemini 3.5 flash by Karthik Mudaliar Google has added Computer Use as a built-in tool in Gemini 3.5 Flash, giving developers a single model that can reason about a task and operate graphical interfaces across browsers, mobile devices, and desktop environments. The feature is available through the Gemini API and Google’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, although it remains a preview feature for now. Computer Use enables an AI agent to examine screenshots and return actions such as mouse clicks, scrolling, and keyboard input. A developer’s application must execute those actions, capture the resulting screen, and send it back to Gemini, creating a continuous loop until the task is completed. Google says the integration can be used for activities including repetitive form filling, application testing, research across multiple websites, and longer enterprise workflows. Gemini 3.5 Flash can work with browser, mobile, and desktop environments, whereas Google’s earlier standalone Computer Use model was primarily positioned around browser interaction. The main change is consolidation. Computer control was previously offered through the separate Gemini 2.5 Computer Use preview model. As Neowin reported when that model was introduced, it was designed to interpret a visual interface and generate actions without requiring a website-specific API. Google later brought Computer Use to preview versions of Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash in January 2026. The latest release now incorporates the tool into the stable Gemini 3.5 Flash model rather than requiring developers to select a specialized model solely for interface automation. Gemini 3.5 Flash itself was announced in May as Google’s latest fast model for coding and multi-step agent workflows. It supports a one-million-token input context window and up to 65,000 output tokens, along with adjustable thinking levels that let developers trade additional reasoning for lower latency and cost. Google also added that Gemini 3.5 Flash received targeted adversarial training for computer-use scenarios. The company is also offering safeguards that can require user confirmation before sensitive or irreversible actions and automatically stop a workflow when suspected prompt injection is detected. Its developer documentation describes configurable protections for areas such as financial transactions and changes to sensitive records. Google isn't the first to bring Computer Use to its platform. Anthropic has made computer control available through Claude, while OpenAI has continued improving computer-use performance in its recent models. Microsoft has also applied the concept to business workflows, including a Computer Use capability for the Researcher agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
    • After I installed KB5095093, the volume on my ARM laptop won't go above 20%. It's stuck on the hearing protection level, which is pretty much useless if you want to listen to anything. I rolled back.
