ok i got a few probs with my computer
am not sure if i should i do a reformat
but if i do my brother will annoy the s*** out of me saying that am bad at computers and am a id*** so i dont want to format and reinstall
problom 1
in device manager under system devices theres a yellow ! next to Plug and Play BIOS Extension.
i go into the properties and it says: The NTKERN.VXD device loader(s) for this device could not load the device driver. to fix this click update driver
and i go update driver and it cant find any thing
then i go to Driver
and it says for
Vax347b.sys
and it says Provider:file not installed
file version:file not installed
copyright:file not installed
and if i go to Universal serial bus controllers
its theres a green ? under :
Generic USB hub
intel® 82801AA USB universal controller
USB composite device
USB Mass storage device

and theres no green ? under
USB root hub

when i go into the 4 usb things they all say:
this device is working propelry

if some features of this device are not working you may need to update the drivers for this device

to do this click update

But i click update and it says it found the drivers but windows are using them allready but it install some thing becasue of the box thing comes up and says copying and things for about 5 secs.

but when i go into intel® 82801AA USB universal controller and then driver and then driver file details and shows a few files. the file : HOTPLUG.DLL says:
provider:unknown
file version: unknown
copy right : unknown

Did this problem occur suddenly, or did you always have this?

Oh.. and this:

OS:windows me

One of the worst OS's released.

I recommend that you try and install Windows 98 (one of my favourite OS's), it may fix your problem for you.

Vax347b.sys belongs to the program Alcohol 120%. If you don't have that I would assume you have some malware

Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and see if there are any references to Alcohol 120. If there are, tick the box and run the utility and see if that helps

The Windows Installer Cleanup Utilty doesnt work with Windows 98

Need make/mopdel on the system.

Sounds like there are multiple USB devices plugged in that the system cant recognize.
What USB devices are attached?
In the beginning there was the command line.
