Code 10
If the device has a FailReasonString value in its
hardware key, that string is displayed as the error message. The driver
or enumerator puts this registry string value there. If there is no
FailReasonString in the hardware key, you receive the following error
message:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Recommended resolutions
Here are some things that you can try to resolve this problem.
Update the driver
In the device Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click Update Driver to start the Hardware Update Wizard. Follow the instructions to update the driver.
You
may be prompted to provide the path of the driver. Windows may have the
driver built-in, or may still have the driver files installed from the
last time that you set up the device. 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 Web site.

Description of Code 10-related errors that Device Manager generates on Windows XP-based computers
HI
A Code 10 error is generated when Device Manager can't start the hardware
device, a situation usually caused by outdated or corrupted driver A device may
also receive a Code 10error if a driver generates an error that Device Manager
doesn't understand. In other words, a Code 10 error can sometimes be a very
generic message indicating some kind of unspecified driver or hardware problem.
Uninstalling and then reinstalling the drivers for the device is a likely
solution to a Code 10 error. If reinstalling driver is not working than try to
rollback the driver or restore the system on previous date..
