Installing usb drivers

I was getting an error when trying to install the filter driver through Zadig. The way to get around this issue is to download libusb-win32 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/ and use the filter driver installation included with files.

Not sure if the cleaning or head re-alignment did the trick but sometime is is the simple things that get you going again.
