Thanks Graeme, did what you suggested - uninstalled any existing driver,
deleted the related .inf files, and then when plugging in the Spyder caused a
"new hardware found" box went through the hardware wizard and installed the
Argyll driver from scratch. Unfortunately, having gone through copying the
files etc. the driver installation reports the same failure:
"Cannot install this hardware There was a problem installing this hardware
Spyder3 (Argyll) An error occurred during the installation of this device The
parameter is incorrect"
Again a Spyder3 driver appears in the list of devices in Device Manager under
"Argyll LibUSB-1.0A devices" however this time the properties dialog reports
"This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)."
Try reinstalling driver and get the same result.
It seems that whatever the spyd.inf file is trying to do, it is not working on
my system - Win XP (but SP1 by choice, I had SP 2 kill slow another old machine
to a crawl so not going there). I noticed that when the Datacolor driver was
installed (and working) two files get listed under driver file details -
spyder3.sys (from Datacolor) and WdfCoinstaller01001.dll. Could it be the
existence of WdfCoinstaller01001.dll on my system be causing the issue?
Any help appreciated.

Hmm. Try uninstalling both drivers. Make sure you delete the .inf cache copies
from WINDOWS/inf.

That's definitely wrong.

It can't possibly end up in the same state if the Spyder3 driver is removed
from the system
first.
