Problems with generic USB hardware

> While trialing Windows Vista these days, i bumped to an unusual problem.
> After few days of working fine, it started to appear that every time i plug
> in an USB device (flash or another ordinary mass storage device) the wizard
> 'found new hardware' pops up and i have to manually point to C:\Windows
> directory to be able to install the driver for an ordinary USB flash stick
> (sometimes i even see two or three popups for one device, and everything has
> to be installed manually). I never had such problem with my Win XP before,
> installations of generic devices were always automatic. Also searched other
> forums and google, and it seems that many people are experiencing similar
> problems (might be due to some pice of software installed, but nobody san
> pinpoint which one).
> So....does anyone knows a solution to these problems?
> Also, I belive it would be smart that Microsoft's technical stuff is
> notified since this might be a possible bug in OS (as i said, many people are
> experiencing it), so that they can come up with a viable solution, possibly
> in a form of an update or something similar.
