    The select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer (LAST option) :

    Click next/OK as required to complete installation. Repeat the steps for all Intel USB devices. Finally click on each USB root device and press DEL to delete it, reply YES when asked. After deleting all USB root devices restart the computer.

    I hope this is detailed enough...

    Port is being blocked

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.



    • Are you aware of any changes that happened on the computer prior to this issue?


    Upon researching, this seems like an issue due to the port scan. You may want to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

    • Login to your Netgear
      NX6200 Extender GUI      .
    • Click on Advanced tab and choose
      WAN Setup      .
    • Check the box for Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection.
    • Allow it to update and check if the port is still being blocked.


    However, if the issue persists, I suggest you to post your query in the
    TechNet Forums, where we have support professionals
    equipped with knowledge on port forwarding.



    Regards,

    ISP Blocking Port Forwarding Conspiracy???

    I've come across a few posts that suggest that some cannot open/forward ports from their modem. It's been suggested that it's a direct result of ISPs trying to crack down on torrenting. However, I am not sure how true this is. Is there a way to test this? Is there a way to see if a port is forward on your modem if it's open or not?
