If that doesn??™t fix the problem, copy said drivers
directly to your hard disk, and try installing them again.
This device isn??™t responding to its driver (Code 33). This may indicate a
problem with the hardware, or simply a bad driver. Start by removing
the device (right-click and select Uninstall), restarting Windows, and
then reinstalling the drivers. If that doesn??™t help, you may have a dead
device on your hands.
Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer (Code
45). This message will appear for any hidden or ghosted device, shown
when you select View ??? Show Hidden Devices in Device Manager. This
means the driver is installed, but the hardware has been physically disconnected
or removed.

Go Back in Time with Restore Points and Shadow Copies
The System Restore service runs invisibly in the background, routinely backing
up drivers, important system files, and certain Registry settings so that at
some point, you can roll back some or all of your computer??™s configuration
to an earlier time. Plus, if you??™re using the Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise
edition of Vista, you can extend this feature to include your personal documents,
forming what are called shadow copies.
Windows maintains your PC??™s restore points somewhat like
the Recycle Bin; old data is deleted invisibly in the background
to make room for new restore points. For this reason,
never rely solely on restore points to provide backups of
your documents.
