How do you fix a USB controller code 10 status?

19 years ago

Running Windows ME on and old dell laptop. The USB broke and have been trying to install a PCMCIA notebook card with USB.

I keep getting the devise appearing in Device Manager with a black exclamation point on a yellow field. I also get the following "This device is either not present, not working properly, or does not have all the drivers installed.

Code 10.

If I manually update the USB controller the controller may seem to be installed correctly but it reverts to the "Code 10" status when I restart the computer.

After I manually update the USB controller driver I have been able to use a USB flash drive, but I haven't been able to use the mouse or a the digital camera. They all worked fine before the USB port broke.

Microsoft lists that a hotfix is available for this problem but since they no longer support ME, I am unable to get the hotfix from Microsoft.

Is there anything else I can do to get the USB notebook card to work, or does anyone have the hotfix.

Is it possible that USB notebook card is defective and that is causing the problem.

I would like to be able to continue using the computer.

Thanks for any help
