Device not recognized (NEW KIND OF PB) (Video Blaster Webcam 5)

Hello
I have a Dell Optiplex GX0, Pentium-3 730MHz, 384 SDRam, 2 USB ports, Win XP pro SP2. All are fully operational. Newest Creative Webcam driver (2002 for xp, something like that)
My webcam 5 was ok until this morning
the day before yesterday: ok
yesterday : ok ----------- and then I installed Active Webcam 7.6 (webcam CCTV software)?I configure, etc. It works.
this morning: ok ---I change some configs :gain / frequence Hz / via the Creative config sofware, it's ok?----------then I use Active Webcam 7.6 : I change the frame rate configuration of this programm (5 +"apply", then 20 +"apply", then 5 +"apply" , 0 +"apply" ) It's okay agin?
In the end I decide to set?5 frames/second, AND THEN......BUG!!!!!!!!!!!Active Webcam 7.6?totally freezes so I kill the process via ctrl+alt+suppr
Even the Creative config sofware freezes when I want starting it. well, I kill it too.
I reboot, AND THEN.......crap.... I see the usb icon on the tray of the task bar?saying "DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" ......and the device manager of the system panel does not show my webcam 5 any longer.
........well nothing very annoying, I thought, it is worth rebooting, re-install creative software/driver with new/old versions, seeing some topics on forums etc...
NOTHING, I re-intall, plug-unplug before or after (re)installation, verify USB status via the device manager (it says ok, except for the "not recognized device" http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies...miley-wink.gif and via the BIOS (already switch on).
Can you help me please?Thank you for your advice !

Mmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmm?After many many attempt of pluggin/unpluggin, I achieve to detect and keep my webcam detected. It is working a little bit...... I mean everything is ok, but when I attempt to reach the "source" option of Creative Webcam Control, this programm freezes and the webcam LED becomes switched on for an unlimited period. The only way escape it is to plug/unplug again several time. I HAVE AN ANSWERABLE QUESTION NOW?: :smileyvery-happy:--How can I reset my "source" and other options of Creative Webcam Control in order to get the original automatic producer settings ? --Moreover, I fear the register still definitely keep a trace of my old/bugging settings (that's why I get problems even though I re-install). How can I erase Creative Webcam 5 settings and Creative Webcam Control settings in the register, before properly re-installing my new drivers+programs ? Ps : should I keep the old driver, or take the xp whql driver ? (the new driver might be a source of problem ?)

  • New USB Problems - USB Device Not Recognized

    I've had Ultimate x64 installed for awhile now.  It's gone through some growing pains (mostly NVIDIA-related BSOD issues) but it's usually pretty stable.  About a week ago it started having USB problems.
    I have a SanDisk ImageMate USB 2.0 card reader that suddenly stopped reading my camera media.  I also have an HP photosmart 7960 that stopped printing (I was using drivers for another printer, per instructions from HP, because this printer doesn't have Vista drivers).  My Memorex flash drive also no longer works, and it no longer sees my Garmin GPS.  They all say "USB Device Not Recognized".
    I contacted HP and they determined that my USB needed to be rebuilt.  This is what I did:
    Unplugged all USB devices.
    Removed all related USB software.
    Booted up in safe mode and went to Device Manager and uninstalled, in this order: USB root hubs, then USB host controllers.
    Even in safe mode, I couldn't get everything to stay deleted.  As soon as I deleted a USB host controller it would reinstall itself and install a root hub.
    I rebooted, and now I'm trying to install the SanDisk card reader.  It installs it, and then there is an exclamation point next to "USB Mass Storage Device" in Device Manager.  I've tried to update the driver (also by having it look in C:\Windows and all subfolders) and it says "Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run.  The problem code is 10."
    So I seem to be stuck with no USB.  I've been throwing new hardware at Vista, determined not to go back to XP.  However, I'm sure I can't work without USB.  What should I do at this point?
    Thanks!

    WHY hasn't anyone replied to this thread?  This is a huge issue, and I am certain millions are affected.  Glowball, did you find a solution.
    I have had major issues with my PC Card (PCIMIA SLOT) Adapter TYPE I & II Compact Flash Card Readers, which were plug and play in XP, give the same behavior - now you see it , now you don't!  None of the manufacturers were willing to provide any acknowledgement nor certify their devices for VISTA.  However, on the MS Support site I did find the attached instruction for a Reg Edit which allows the assignment of an IRQ to the PC Card Adapter in VISTA - apparently this was not required in XP (is this an advance in the OS??? I think not!).  IRQ 16 was assigned, and now works great on my Vista Home Premium laptop.
    On my other Vista Business laptop, I have a PC Express Cardslot - haven't tried an Adapter for SD + cards yet there, but supposed to not have the same issues, I believe.  However, I am having the same issue Glowball describes above with my USB  Card reader. It is USB 2.0 high speed certified and has been working great for Readyboost with an 8 GB SD card inserted and adding 4 GB of Readyboost "ram".  However, when I also inserted a CF card into the adjacent slot of the same card reader, it has become an "unrecognized device" as noted above.  Tried unplugging, replugging USB cable.  Although still displayed in My Computer and Explorer, the drive contents are not updated or active and cannot be opened - get "drive not present error" and the USB error noted above.
    I am unwilling to delete the USB drivers/device EVERY time I need to work with a CF card.  Surely there is a registry correction for this issue.  It must also tie into this IRQ issue noted with the PCIMIA card readers above as well?
    Anybody know or CARE?

  • Drive not recognized - new issue...help please

    I am replacing a 120 GB drive with a 250 GB one to give more space for video files. On reboot, I get the message: You have inserted a drive not recognized...etc...with the choices to initialize, ignore or eject.
    Then I notice that the drive on the same bus (in the bottom of the tray) is not seen on the desktop. It was in two volume partitions and was also a 250GB. Big mystery. So I remove the new one and connect just the older drive. No luck, message says ...a drive not recognized...etc. So then I change the jumpers twice - same results - and I remove the jumper...same thing. I see this drive in Disk Utility represented by a number and size (232 GB) but not by the volume names. And when I try to verify or repair, the option is greyed out (yes, I booted to the install disc and went to Disk Utility, as per instructions.
    This disk has data on it I need, and it's not backed up. All I did was unplug the connectors and then replaced them as before. So please, tell me how I can restore this one. I could remove it and put it in an external FW enclosure and then see if it shows up, but I don't want to take chances. Worse case scenario is a data retrieval service - and I'm almost certain I shouldn't have to do that as this is a healthy drive.
    Any suggestions very gratefully appreciated, thanks!
    Keith

    Tom, I tried every one of your suggestions: set the older drive (Seagate) at P4 and first connector on IDE ribbon to cable select and the new drive (Hitachi) in tray just above it at P5 - end connector on ribbon also to cable select. Result: two dialog boxes for both drive on reboot "You have inserted a device not recognized..."
    Then I tried slave on the Seagate and Master on the Hitachi...same result as above.
    Then I tried alternate Master and Cable Select configs. on the Hitachi for 15 or 16 pin..whatever that is...but was printed on strip on drive. No go.
    I think it must be another issue here than jumpers...although that may have something to do with it. When I installed a new drive in my Quicksilver I never got the Device Not Recognized dialog...it either saw the drive with all data on it or it didn't, until I set the jumpers correctly, as directed for that incident.
    What bothers me is that when I removed the new Hitachi entirely and reconnected the old Seagate as the only drive on that cable, either with jumper set to CS or M or S I am still getting the dialog.
    Any other solutions, please.

  • Getting 'USB device not recognized' message when I never did before.

    Hi there
    I am constantly getting a USB device not recognized when I plug in my nano. I never got this before and as a result all it does is charge. It is not showing up in iTunes anymore so I cannot remove or dowload new songs on to my nano anymore. I have tried to go into control panel and the USB Hub device manager to deselect the power outage option but that did nothing. Please help! I seem to encounter trouble with any accessories Apple sell, whether they be earphones or USB cables.
    Thanks

    i'm getting the same problem too.
    my ipod is nearly about 1 year old.
    i use my ipod nano 2GB for music and as a flashdrive to store my uni work.
    this morning accessing my files in the ipod on the computer was fine.
    then later in the afternoon when i connected it into a computer i keep getting the msg 'usb device not recognised'. also itunes dont recognise my ipod either anymore.
    i use Windows XP at home and uni.
    i've tried my ipod on at least three different computers at uni and just tried at home.
    same msg came up 'unknown device' from windows.
    i've read the other posts in the forum and it mentioned about 5 R's and resetting it.
    BUT the main problem is i DONT have any back up of my uni work and files and they are really really important so i CANT reset the ipod otherwise i will lose all the important things...my assignments, projects, photos...I was meant to make a back up b4 i start uni next monday but i guess now is TOO LATE.
    I've noticed that the socket of the ipod dock conector to usb cable, that connects to the ipod is slightly split open.
    Would this be causing the problem?
    I am in Utter Despair and Desperation at the moment.
    Can anyone help me PLEASE?
    i would be sooooo grateful for your kind help and time.
    kind regards,

  • B500 USB Device not recognized error at startup + sound issue Dissapointed

    Hello,
    We have 2 B500,
    whenever i start them, after windows load they are giving me an error, "USB device not recognized" I am not sure what to do any help will be greatly appreciated as this is strange that both the machines are giving the same error,
    also on one of the machines the sound does not come work, i have tried to trouble shoot, the diagnosis says speakers are working fine, but sound does not come out at all.
    I am kind of dissapointed with these issues, we always use to buy from Dell but we thought we would give Lenovo a chance, the machines were barely a couple of months old when the issue started,
    any advice please?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well being that it is the same PC as the other I am sure the speakers are plugged into the correct spot. Have you checked the speakers with other devices to make sure the speaker is fine? Since the other PC's drivers are working, you can use DRIVERMAX to pull the sound driver from the good PC and also use DRIVERMAX to install the driver you pulled from the good one. Just uninstall the sound drivers from the bad PC first before installing the new driver.

  • USB Device not recognized by windows

    When I first plugged my iPod into my computer, it went through the whole recognizing new hardware thing. Installed the drivers, then said that the new device was ready to use. But then I get a message that says "Device malfunction, device not recognized by windows" or something to that effect. I only have 3 days to return this iPod...anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

    I'm not very familiar with the Windows OS but try this tip I picked on the forum up a while back, hopefully it might help.
    1. On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    2. Double-click the System icon.
    3. Click the Hardware tab.
    4. Click Device Manager.
    5. Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
    6. Click the plus icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    7. Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
    8. Click the Power Management tab.
    9. Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
    10. Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
    11. Restart the computer.

  • "USB Device Not Recognized" Bubble/ Ipod won't connect to Windows

    Whenever i connect my ipod to my computer the ipod goes to "do not disconnect" and a bubble pops up on my computer saying "USB DEvice Not Recognized" i have switched it to all of my usb ports and unplugged all usbs except for my mouse at the same time. this happens 95% of the time. my ipod does charge while connected and it has only connected to itunes once in the past 2 weeks. im not sure if it is itunes because it started around the time i updated to itunes 7. since it is a windows bubble though i think it is a windows or ipod problem and not itunes. i have a dell that isnt great but works fine.
    thanks for any help.
    ... Go TTU!

    Make that two idiots. My roommate got a Sansa and I decided to try out the cable. Nothing happened. Now suddenly my nano isn't recognized by my computer. I'm glad I read your post, now I can stop looking high and low for a solution. Until this happened it worked good as new.

  • "USB device not recognized" when ipod plugged in???

    (ipod mini 4gb)
    When I plug my ipod into my laptop I get the message: "USB device not recognized." It says the device has malfunctioned!!! If I click on this error message it says my ipod is an unknown device and no drivers are installed for it???
    It was working fine until a few days ago. If i reset it I can charge it up but that's all, it still does not appear in itunes or on my computer.
    I've tried eveything on the help website but nothing works! Can anyone help?!
    patriot 3050   Windows XP  

    ok my question is do you have a mac or windows based laptop
    here is why and what happened to my ipod mini
    my ipod mini was connected to my macintosh charging while i was using my imac and it came up with a system update 10.4.3 i installed it and finished installing it and afterwards my apple wouldn't recongnize my ipod mini or even display it one the screen i found out by myself that when the apple update got to the end of the update it installed new hard drive drivers but also installed the drivers on the ipod mini which locked out the mini's internal hard drive and my mini then stop responding it would play music and charge but wouldn't connect to the computer
    so what i did to fix it was this
    i went into utilites in mac os x tiger or any version of os x has this and selected disk utility you will notice that the ipod will appesr in disk utility but not on the desktop this is due to a recent system update driver that isn't compatible with the internal drive on the ipod mini so in disk utility just select format the drive in a mac os partition standard works the best it will then format the ipod and the ipod will apear in the desktop again but not as a ipod let me explain when you format the ipod using the disk utility it formats and even erases the firmware of of the hard drive on the mini so when you are done formating the ipod run the ipod updater to reinstall the ipod's operating system and presto your ipod will now work again
    warning: i don't know how to fix this on a ipod in windows so if this is a windows based laptop you need to find someone witha macintosh to do this with sorry

  • IPod nano 3rd Gen 8G "Device Not Recognized" on 2 diffrent computers...

    I have the latest versions of iTunes on both a Windows XP service pack 3 computer and Windows 7 Laptop. I've tried multiple cords but both computers tell me "device not recognized", I've uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers. Done a reset and Disk Mode reset on my iPod. Haven't droped it or damaged it in anyway since i've connected it sucessfully to my computer last time. Will charge on a wall charger, car charger and dock. Tried connecting friends iTouch and it was registered by Both computers.
    And ideas on a fix other than the $100+ apple wants, I'll just got buy a new MP3.

    - Try another cable
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • "USB Device Not Recognized" Message when connecting iPod Nano

    I get the following windows pop up when connecting my son's iPod Nano
    *"USB Device Not Recognized"*
    *One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.*
    I have successfully connected this device to this computer before so I don't know what has changed.

    This did not work for me. I have a laptop that was running Windows XP, and it had no problems recognizing the iPod. I was having problems with XP, and rather then reinstall XP, I did a clean install of Vista. I did a settings transfer, so the new install of iTunes came already configured--I mention this since I don't know if it was a factor.
    When I plugged in the iPod, I got the USB Device Not Recognized. The usbstor.inf file did not fix the problem. However, the solution at http://www.winvistabeta.com/groups/275128/ipod-usb-device-not-recognized/message .aspx did fix the problem. Do this:
    Reset the iPod:
    1. Unplug the iPod.
    2. Turn the hold switch to HOLD and then back to off.
    3. Hold the Center and Menu buttons for 6 seconds until you get the Apple logo when you release them.
    4. Plug in the iPod. It should now be recognized.
    This worked fine for me the first time. Thanks! Jack

  • 2G Nano-USB Device Not Recognized message
