I'm under Vista Ultimate at the moment and I'm finding this issue pretty annoying yet i think I've found a temporary fix. I'm pretty sure many others have it, but a lot don't which makes no sense whatsoever.The issue is when you attempt to stick in a plug and play device (be it mouse, USB, external HD etc.) and it asks for drivers, when clearly it doesn't need (vista should have it preloaded...hence the term 'plug and play'). I've searched around the internet and the only fix i can find is by deleting INFCACHE.1. While this did work for a couple of days, out of the blue it asks for drivers again. What makes it even more fustrateing is that it doesnt seem to be an issue for my mouse, printer and my OWN USB...but for everyone elses usb (at school for example, they ask to use my laptop for a bit) it asks for drivers, for which i search but never find.

PDFs load fine in Adobe Acrobat 8 or Adobe Acrobat 9, but when you try to print a PDF, Acrobat crashes.
If you are running Windows Vista, you get the:
“xxxxx Application has stopped working: Windows Can Check online for a solution to the problem.
Check online for a solution and close the program
Close the program
Close the program
where xxxxx is Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat Professional, etc…
A check of the problem details (for example, Acrobat 9 Professional) will show two of the following items or similar:
Application Name: Acrobat.exe
Fault Module Name: GDI32.dll
Fault Module Name: GDI32.dll
Or similar, and most of the time you will see a PDF Printer Missing or similar error.
In many cases but not all the steps below will fix the problem; please note that if you are using XP x64 or Vista x64, it is recommended to upgrade to Acrobat 9 if you are running an earlier version to help resolve some printing issues:
