Well,
After a gruelling search I did manage to find the suspect. However, now I have no
way to delete. First, here is the culprit:
hklm/system/currentcontrolset/enum/usb/Vid_041e&Pid_'111
This is what I have tried to do to delete it:
1. Delete it directly from the regedit
Result: Cannot Delete - Error while deleting Key
Additionally there are no permission settings for this key for me to set. Also, I
have tried to rename the key to remove the single quote.
2. Booted up in safe mode and tried the command prompt reg Delete to delete the corrupt
key with and without double quotes as I noticed that he single quotes throws the
command prompt off
Result: Error: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
