shamwow Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) i unplugged my ducky while it was automatically installing the drivers and from now on the ducky is not recognised. how do i make the ducky go back to automatically installing the drivers without failing? the error i get is "device driver software was not successfully installed."

Mr-Protocol Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Have you done any HID changes to it? Is this a recent purchase? Please explain more on events that lead up to this. The ducky should install automatically with default drivers without any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Protocol Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 That might be the issue, plug it in and open device manager. It should show it with a yellow exclamation point. Right click it and "Uninstall" and also uninstall drivers. Reboot and try the ducky again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Protocol Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 See if you can find a tool to "clean" the USB Store (old USB devices that have been plugged in) from your registry. Then try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then try again. okay so i just tried what you said by using this guide to drivecleanup.exe http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/usb-drive-or-flash-problems-how-to-cleanup-and-remove-old-usb-storage-drivers.145884/ i also tried usboblivion http://www.cherubicsoft.com/en/projects/usboblivion all drives installed new drivers but it still did not fix the issue.

Mr-Protocol Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 If the ducky works in other machines, then it is something up with the system you are using. It could be a ton of things. Try a different USB Port. If that doesn't work, I am out of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use system restore to roll back to before you did what you did to break it. Seriously repairing a computer shouldn't cost you anything if you are using duckies etc, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
