Device driver was not successfully installed (no driver found) on Windows 7 x64

I have had this problem for quite some time now, but tried to fix it on and off.

I knew I had problems with USB devices. Not even a standard keyboard will install.

Here is what I have found out:

I have a standard keyboard which I have used on this computer before.

Now it ONLY works if I plug it into the port I installed it on originally.

ALL other USB ports fail.

I then started trying moving other devices around.

They all ONLY work in the ports they were installed on originally.

ALL report a "no driver found" message when trying to use another port.

I then decided to check with a webcam that I never installed on this computer.

It fails on ALL ports.

So it's not only one port or one device.

I now want to move a 3TB harddisk from another computer of mine.

I have a USB3.0 dock that I KNOW supports 3TB drives as it already run one, but on another pc.

On this one I get the same error as in the title, no matter what port I try.

I then decided to pull the drive from the USB dock and mount it internally.

It STILL gives the above error as shown here:

It's almost as if Windows have lost ALL drivers for ALL devices??!?

I have tried the following:

commandline as admin > SFC /SCANNOW

That reports that eveything is fine.

I ran CHKDSK on all drives

No errors.

I tried running the following antispyware:

superantispyware

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

AdwCleaner

CCleaner

All gives a clean bill of health.

I read other people went into the device manager and deleted all the USB devices, so I tried that.

That made my mouse and keyboard die. Forced shutdown. Boot.

Then Windows showed me I needed USB drivers, but I could not get them as mouse and keyboard didn't work.

I had to boot on my Recovery Disc, and do a system restore.

I don't know if it's any help but I have this from an attempt to run a repair:

I am really getting deperate.

Oh, as a sidenote. Reinstalling/resetting Windows is NOT an option!

    I don't use OneDrive, but I put the files on my personal site in a temporary folder.

    The event logs are zipped together with the locales.

    It might help to see current information about your system.

    Please provide a copy of your current System Information file. Type System Information in the Search Box above the start Button and press the ENTER key (alternative is Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Information). Select File, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. Do not place the cursor within the body of the report before exporting the file. The system creates a new System Information file each time system information is accessed. You need to allow a minute or two for the file to be fully populated before exporting a copy. Please upload to your OneDrive (formerly Sky Drive), share with everyone and post a link here. Reports in normal mode preferred. Please say if the report has been obtained in safe mode.

    Please upload and share with everyone fresh copies of your System and Application logs from your Event Viewer to your One Drive (formerly Sky Drive) and post a link here. You can remove the earlier copies of the logs from your OneDrive.

    To access the System log select Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, from the list in the left side of the window expand Windows Logs and select System. Place the cursor on System, select Action from the Menu and Save All Events as (the default evtx file type) and give the file a name. Do the same for the Applications log. Do not provide filtered files. Do not place the cursor in the list of reports before selecting Action from the menu. Do not clear logs whilst you have a continuing problem.

    Well I gave up on that drive and mounted it on another pc, just after my initial post.

    Sorry I didn't mention that.

    Regarding my Generic Ultra HS-SD/MMC USB Device...

    I uninstalled it as you suggested, and now Windows can't find the drivers for it anymore.

    Your original post referred to a different drive to the one I posted about earlier.

    Check you have the latest firmware for this drive "ST3000DM001":
