Not good After rolling back that schoolboy error via VNC and System Restore, I continued the search for a solution. So far, the only way I was able to get things installed was to say no to an Internet search and then ask to install the drivers manually from a location of my choosing the c windowsinf folder. This would slowly install the drivers but add a second yellow unknown bang in device manager. Not a perfect solution but one that got the clients devices working for now until I find a more elegent fix that does not involve reinstalling Windows. The device drivers might already need to be in the INF folder in this case the Camera software had already been installed but if you have this problem, it might be worth looking there. If anybody finds a solution then I would be very interested in seeing it.
