Computer can't find CFUSB II hardware

[mike L]

Hello I need some help, a friends Gateway is always searching for this hardware at start-up CFUSB II,Ihave no idea what this is or what it belongs to. from what she told me in the email is it's a-
Gateway system with windows98
she has EPSON STYLUS 740 color printer attached to the USB
Sidewinder pro joystick attached to the USB
so if anyone has had a run in with this hardware I sure would like to know where it belongs Thanks in advance

sounds like someone deleted something halfway.

Like trying to remove some hardware/software without using the utility under "programs" our in the control panel under "add&remove programs"

I'd guess that it's looking for a Compact Flash USB card reader, like lots of Digital Cameras use.

Has someone used a card reader on it previously ?

There are some wizards here who can guide you through the registry or system ini settings to remove it.

My solution in cases like this is to re-install the offender then remove in the correct manner..

Thanks DrVette,
so that must be associated with the scanner, so many acronyms, thanks again I'll have her check out her scanner software
