Cannot install any new drivers on windows 7 because "Access is denied"

[TylerBond]

Hi guys,

Whenever I plug a USB device into my PC it fails to install drivers, hence i can't use them.

When I go to device manager and try to install the correct driver, such as USB mass storage device it cannot install. It says Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it"
"Access is denied"

Edit: I cannot access any of these devices, such as a usb from my computer

Edit: Screencap of the error: http://gyazo.com/ee4bf2f3dd55f36dd16b1b498914ab9d

Any help would be greatly appreciated
ps if this is in the wrong category sorry first time on this site.

For what you want install the driver USB HDD, stick etc. etc.?
You have to download and install latest drivers for chipset and USB from your motherboard's manufacturer site

A small 4gb usb stick

Don't mess with installing drivers for USB stick, I have never installed any driver for USB sticks all I did is just plug USB stick read/write on it and then unplug it.
Just make sure you have all the latest drivers for chipset and USB controller

But I can't use it. I perhaps should have made it clear that I can't access any new devices either, i'll edit it in

FIRSTLY BOOT IN SAFE MODE. NOW PLUG IN YOUR USB DEVICE. GO TO CONTROL PANEL AND RIGHT CLICK ON THE DEVICE WHICH YOU WANT TO INSTALL. WHEN ASK FOR DRIVERS GIVE PATH TO C:/WINDOWS/WINSXS FOLDER. THIS HELPED ME

This issue is related to the Windows registry, and is not related to the particular USB device; any other USB device will still not work if you plug it to the port.

log on as a different user, for example as an Administrator, and try again.
