Xilinx USB cable - can't install driver

This used to work! I've had it put away for a couple of weeks, and now when I plug in the Platform cable it tries to reinstall the driver and when it gets to the second stage (after installing the firmware loader), Windows says that a service installation section in the INF file was invalid.

Anyone ever seen this before?! How do I fix it?

I've had a very strange effect with the Spartan-3E starter kit USB. I would only be able to establish connection to the board via a small USB hub, but not with the board connected to the computer's USB port directly. Seems like the USB hub has had some generic driver installed (beforehand), that disturbes the driver for the Xilinx USB cable.
