    Code 43 "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

    Cause

    One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.

    Recommended Resolution

    If you have already tried the "Try these steps first" section, check the hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer for more information about diagnosing the problem.

    Reinstall the device driver manually

    1. From Start, search for device manager and select Device Manager from the results.
    2. Right-click the device in the list.
    3. Select Uninstall from the menu that appears.
    4. After the device is uninstalled, choose Action on the menu bar.
    5. Select Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the driver.

    Note You may be prompted to provide the path of the driver.  If you are asked for the driver and you do not have it, you can try to download the latest driver from the hardware vendor’s website.
