Try removing the device (right-click and select Uninstall), restarting Windows, and then reinstalling the driver.
This device is not working properly because one of its drivers may be bad, or your registry may be bad (Code 4).
Of course, try updating the drivers. (Laughably, Microsoft suggests running Scanregw.exe,
a program designed for Windows Me and not included in Windows Vista, to
fix this error.) If a new driver doesn't fix the problem, try the
solution for Code 3, just discussed.
The driver for this device requested a resource that Windows does not know how to handle (Code 5).

This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load... (Code 8).
This may indicate a missing or damaged .inf file, located in the \Windows\INF folder, which may make it difficult to reinstall the driver for this device. If the Reinstall Device
button doesn't work (or isn't there), and installing drivers provided
by the manufacturer fails, you may have to run Windows setup again.
This
device is not working properly because the BIOS in your computer is
reporting the resources for the device incorrectly (Code 9).

powered up. If it's an external device, try turning it off and then on
again. Then, of course, try removing the drivers (right-click and select
Uninstall) and then run the Add New Hardware wizard from Control Panel.
Windows
stopped responding while attempting to start this device, and therefore
will never attempt to start this device again (Code 11).

the fact that the message states the device is functioning correctly,
there's obviously a problem. This typically occurs in systems with two
display adapters (video cards), wherein one doesn't fully support being
installed in a system with two display adapters. Try updating the
drivers for both cards, and look for an updated BIOS for either card.
This device is either not present, not working properly, or does not have all the drivers installed (Code 24).

installed on a sound card that's having problems. To fix this error,
troubleshoot the hardware on which this device is dependent.
Windows
cannot install the drivers for this device because it cannot access the
