USB device recognition in Ultimate

I have the exact same problem.Windows locates the drivers if I specify
C:\Windows\System32 but then says:

Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while
attempting to install it.
USB Mass Storage Device
The system cannot find the file specified.

This happens with two different pen drives and my digital camera. Deleting
infcache didn't work

I have Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition, my motherboard is an Asus P5B-VM, and
I have installed the latest drivers and bios.

Can anybody help please?

Regards,
Gustavo Guerra
