I have this same problem with Vista Business on my brand new Sony VAIO
laptop... it started happening after I installed the Windows Mobile Device
Center Update 6.1 from Microsoft.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling and even deleting the INF files to get
this to stop and it still persists.
I just keep sending the error reports to Microsoft hoping that they come out
with a fix... tons of people are having this problem and it effects
everything from Windows-based mobile phones to SD cards, to practically
anything with a flash-memory and a USB connection.
