   Note: I do know that certain service packs for Windows Vista and Windows 2000 have contained specific fixes for some instances of the Code 28 error in Device Manager.
   
   
5. Replace the hardware. As a last resort, you may need to replace the hardware that has the Code 28 error.
   
   It's also possible that the device is not compatible with this version of Windows. You can check the Windows HCL to be sure.
   
   Note: If you still think there is still a software/operating system component to this Code 28 error, you could try a repair install of Windows. If that doesn't work, try a clean install of Windows. I don't recommend doing either of those more drastic options before you try replacing the hardware, but you may have to if you're out of other options.
