Upon fresh boot of my brand new Windows 7 Razer Blade laptop, my iPhone works perfectly. But, once I unplug it a single time and re-plug it in, the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver no longer functions correctly in the Device Manager and returns the following error message:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)"
Research on the Internet with respect to this, especially from Microsoft, is worthless. Microsoft officially recommends that you "restart the computer." Well, gee, obviously that fixes it -- until I plug it again.
It would seem that it is the job of the OS to take it out of memory instead of telling me that it is still in memory, or at least give me the option to force it out of memory.
Does anyone have any insight into this error message, or how I can actually trace the source of the problem? This is a brand new installation, and since it was one of the first things I installed, I doubt there's any software causing any issues. Loading MSCONFIG with limited startup options didn't solve anything. I am at a loss.
Thanks everyone!
