There are many reason why you are having this problem, as i can see that you have code 28
Solution : Reinstall Driver, try to find your accompanied CD that goes with your pc
This code means the device was not installed completely.
To resolve this issue, follow the recommended solution. If that does not work, try removing the device from Device Manager and using the Add New Hardware wizard to redetect it. or remove the device physically and re-install it, or else You may need to obtain updated drivers if the error still occurs.
