Floppy and USB problem Km4v

Here is my spec before I start!
MSi KM4V motherboard
QTEC 550W PSU +3.3v=30A +5V=40A +12V=20A
Duron 1.6Ghz CPU
256Mb PC2700 DDR
DVD Rom drive
Floppy
40Gb Western Digital HD
Windows XP Home edition
Coolermaster Dream heatsink and fan
2 80mm Case fans
I have two of these systems set up identically.  My problem lies in that one system is not working correctly.  The problomatic system does not show the floppy drive or USB controllers.  I have tried searching through XP, to no avail.  The floppy disk controller is present but no floppy drive.  No USB is shown at all.  I have checked wiring and it is identical to the fully functioning system.  For the floppy I have tried two different drives and three cable each with no luck.  Uninstalling the FDC makes no difference.  If I put the floppy cable in upside down(done by accident!) the light stays on it, so its seems to power up, but not be recognised.
Any help is appreciated as one of my kids will be gutted if they don't get a working crimbo present.
Thanks

Hi kerplunkuk,
Try:
1. run: sfc /scannow from command line or dos prompt (keep the Windows CD ready);
2. Download "Advisor" from www.belarc.com and check if XP and all updates are installed correctly; re-install what is necessary.
Hope this helps!

  • [VIA Series] memory and usb problems

    Hello...... I have the MSI PM8M-V motherboard, intel celeron 2.93 ghz processor and 256 meg kingston ram. I am upgrading about 50 pcs with this setup. On some, the system will not see any of the USB ports and on almost all of them, the system reports that I have 192 meg of ram instead of the 256. Is this a normal thing with the memory and has anyone else had the problem with the USB ports. Thanks

    part of the RAM is taken by the video. That's why you only see 192MB instead of 256MB (64MB is taken by Video).
    USB ports? make sure you enable them in the BIOS.
    Make sure you have the Chipset Driver updated for the USB problem.
    You might also check how you have the Front panel USB’s hooked up to the header on the Mobo. Make sure it is correct. 

  • Nissan Altima BlueTooth and USB problems

    Just picked up my 2010 Nissan Altima with Premium Sound Package (includes BlueTooth and USB). Palm P100EWW on Sprint.
    Problem 1)  Bluetooth pairs and connects, allows me to make or receive calls.  However, it did not download my phone book, so I am not able to call people by saying their names.  If I say List Phonebook, it says that there are no entries to list.  Help!?
    Problem 2)  I want to play music via the USB.  When I connect my Pre, the car screen says "Check Device" and will not do anything else.  Help!?
    Thanks in advance,
    JimR

  • 10.5.6 update and USB problem.

    Since upgrading to 10.5.6 whenever I attach my ipod or sony reader it now takes 4 or 5 minutes before the computer recognises that a USB device has been plugged in.
    Anybody else had a similar problem or knows what is causing it.
    Many thanks,
    Allen.

    I had a kernel panic with a USB-connected scanner. After a lot of experimenting, I changed the USB port the scanner was plugged in to and everything worked fine.
    Try plugging your USB accessories into different USB ports. It couldn't hurt

  • 10.4.7 update and USB problems

    I have been experiencing problems with my USB devices (other than my Apple mouse and keyboard) since updating to 10.4.7. I have a card reader, a Palm device, a USB midi keyboard and a digital camera dock connected to a USB hub connected to the back of my Studio Display.
    Randomly they start to beep like they do when the system boots or they are connected or reconnected without anything or anyone touching them. Sometimes they just beep, other times I lose functionality until I disconnect and reconnect the hub or device.
    I have disconnected all, and connected just one or another (without the hub as well) but no matter what is connected I still get the same issue of the system thinking the devices are connecting or disconnecting at random times. This is new with 10.4.7, as I have had the same hardware connected as far back as 10.2. Anyone else having this problem, loss of USB functionality or sollution for such since updating to 10.4.7?

    I too am having many of the same issues as all of you. I have my keyboard, mouse, and printer hooked up to a NEC USB 2.0 Manual Share Switch Hub. The hub is connected to a non-factory USB 2.0 card I installed in my PowerMac. Before the 10.4.7 update, I had none of these following problems.
    Everything works and has worked great until I put the computer to sleep. Upon waking, the USB hub refuses to acknowledge my computer. I also get two strange beeps as it is waking. And because my input devices are hooked up to the hub, I am unable to do anything but restart the computer, upon which all becomes well again with the usb hub.
    I defintely prefer to put my computer to sleep rather than restarting it everytime. Hopefully apple provides a fix soon; I really don't feel like messing with extensions. I could always revert back to 10.4.6, but I guess I was being optimistic that the fix would come soon. APPLE, get on it!

  • Asha 501 and USB problems with MAC OSX 10.9

    I checked everywhere and I could not find any threads about this problem, so I'm asking here, in the official support forum.
    The problem is:
    Connecting the Nokia Asha 501 to the mac (via USB cable), and selecting "external memory", the memory card is mounted and I can browse the contents, BUT the photos show corrupted. I even lost some, because I tried to open them in the Preview app on the mac. (take a look at the attached photo of this post, a screenshot clearly showing corruption)
    Importing the photos via Bluethoot works, and the photo on the phone are showing fine. The memory card is okay, I checked with an external card reader.
    Also:
    - This problem does not show with Windows 7/8
    - This problem does show with other Mac OS X
    The phone is updated, I flashed it with the Nokia Software Updater and I formatted the memory card.
    Any help?

  • Elitebook 8460P - Shutdown and USB problem

    We're having a very odd problem.  When the system (HP Elitebook 8460P running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise) is online over wireless, everything works fine.  HOWEVER, 2 very odd behaviors manifest if the system is not connected to a wireless internet connection:
    - It will not shutdown.  The system will hang at "shutting down . . ." message. If the power is turned off (5 sec press on power button), it will boot up the next time saying that it was not shut down properly.
    - one of the USB 3 ports will not work (this is incredibly odd!).  Not sure how the 2 could be connected, but apparently they are!
    The system is well-maintained, and shows no signs of viruses or malware.  All drivers and software are up to date, including BIOS.  If the system is connected any working wireless connections, neither problem occurs.

    Hello!
    I suggest you open your command prompt and run the "sfc /scannow" command to ensure that your system files are intact.  Make sure to post the result.
    Have a great day.

  • 790GX G65 Firewire and USB problem

    I've m-audio firewire 410 sound card and cubase5 (has a usb dongle to work)
    before this mainboard I was using K9A2 platinium V2 and Amd 9950  cpu everything was working perfectly
    now I've upgraded my board (as you see) and bought a AMD 955
    now when I install the sound card driver it's making somekind of digital distortion and also the sound is moving to faster or slower (all the time) so I'M hearing funny voices
    The Cubase5 Usb dongle is having some connection problem. It force me to change the usb port everytime I start cubase
    I've updated my bios but guess what.... They're still with me.
    Please some help
    I'm using Vista home premium 32, I've tried it on Xp and windows 7 64 RC7100   the resoult is always the same

    Quote from: Bas on 19-July-09, 16:39:47
    Are the energy settings properly configured for USB and the CPU?
    Could be Cubase doesn't like Cool & Quite?
    Can Cubase work with quad-core?
    Can the powersupply handle everything?
    What is in your system, we don't know much: >>Posting Guide<<
    Read the guide this time.
    My system is
    MSI 790GX G65 , AMD 955 BE, Corsair 1600 MHZ 4 GB (TW3X4G1600C9D) , 6 HDD (one is IDE),  ZOTAX 9800 GTX+, 750 watt PSU(corsair TX750W)
    I've some pci card for my music buss. but i didn't install them yet. Not before everything works fine
    Cubase works fine with quad core , my ex-system was a quad core. 
    the problem with cubase comes this way. I turn on the pc (dongle is on all the time) start cubase and get the message "Connection problem with dongle change the usb port) after I change it everthing works fine. infact I'm not making cubase problem a big deal. my real problem is firewire.
    About the energy settings, I didn't change anything on mainboard, why do I need to change the power settings for usb? aren't they standart?

  • LENOVO K3 NOTE ISSUE-BATTERY DRAINING FAST AND USB PROBLEM!!!!!!!!

    i have a problem in my K3 note, bought recently through flipkart..the phone was working fine but suddenly, now USB is not detected...whenever, i attach to the AC charger or charge with USB connected to laptop, it is neither getting charged nor USB is detected... But if i switch off the phone, now the phone gets charged... i have not been able to identify what the bug is about? i have factory resetted and also the battery was removed several times..however, the same problem is occuring.... Hope, i can get a solution from this portal Battery is also draining fast after this bug has started.  Thanks in advance.

    since many people reporting the heating issue. 
    i would like to ask you a favor to help me to do a experiment. 
    i am not sure if you guys know we have a feature called "background app management", it can restrict background tasks to block them consuming current drain.  The heat could be generated by drain consumption. 
    the feature is at Settings->Power manager->Background app management. 
    I made a video shown at below link:

    Please let me know if you can get some benefit on this issue.

  • HP DV3-2230ea BIG Touchscreen and USB problem.

    My laptop HP DV3-2230ea was working fine earlier. Now the touch screen is not working and the laptop continuously detects a new USB device but it cannot be recognised, then starts over and over again, with the annoying sounds.
    Help PLEASE

    For the touchscreen not working...Try and install the Touchscreen driver from this link and check...
    On the USB issue, to start with can you post the screenshot of the device manager, we can take it from there...

  • Gx630 and usb problems

    I've tried on numerous occassions to connect my sony ericsson phone via usb to my gx630 using any of the 3 usb ports with no luck in the computer recognizing the phone.  I've installed/reinstalled the driver software numerous times.  Pretty much gave up as I thought it was a problem with the phone.
    Now I just bought a digital camera and while the gx630 recognized that a Canon camera is attached via USB, I get the following error when I go to Device Manager  and in the device status box it states the following:
    Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
    Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
    I then select "check for solutions" and get no response.
    At this point since I cant connect 2 different USB devices, I'm guessing its a problem with the gx630.  Anyone have any ideas where to start correcting the Canon camera USB connection problem?  Not so much worried about the phone at this point....thank you for your assistance.

  • Internet and usb problems

    HelloI just bought a cb3-111 afew days ago, it worked great when I first brought it home but now a couple of problems have come to light.first of all i keep loosing internet connection, the wifi signal is full bars but it will just randomly loose internet even though the wifi is still connected and strong. Second, the usb ports connect and disconnect. Example, if I plug my phone into the usb port to charge it will connect then disconnect sometimes it will stay on for a while then disconnect and reconnect on its own. the same thing seems to happen with my thumb drive. I would greatly appreciate any help to resolve these problems

    morb,
    Check and make sure that you are using the most current build for your Chromebook. You can also try to run a powerwash on it to see if that fixes it.

  • IMessage and USB problems with MacBook Pro (Maverick)?

    Since I updated my MacBook Pro (2011) to Maverick I have had problems with imessage not working. I also can't use my USB ports for my printer, card reader or external disk. USB ports work together with my iPad and iPhone. Does anybody out there have an idea about what I can do to fix these things? Many thanks in advance.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Tiger/Classic and USB problems

    I have two instances where a USB device that worked in Panther/Classic will not work in Tiger/Classic.
    One is StylusRIP from Epson that I use to print Postscript files with my Stylus 3000. Worked fine in Panther/Classic, since I upgraded to Tiger the printer is not recognized. The printer works in OSX using the non-Postscript driver, so I know that basic connectivty (cables, ports, etc.) is OK.
    The other is a RoboLab USB infrared transmitter. Same scenario.
    While troubleshooting the transmitter, I tried booting into OS9 (on my G4) and the connection was made. It worked fine. I tried the same thing with StylusRip, and it too worked fine, the printer was recognized. I can, as a workaround, output PS files or press-ready PDFs (since I won't be able to use any of my designs apps in Classic), reboot in 9 and print, but I'd rather find out how to fix the problem.
    Can anyone tell me what could be different about the way Tiger handles USB that could affect the interoperability with devices/software that require Classic? I did find one post that recommended resetting the PRAM, so I will try that. Any other recommendations are welcome.

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am running 9.2.2. The only thing that changed was the update to Tiger. I have called ESPON, and they refer me to Adobe because they licensed the RIP from Adobe. I've not had any success with that yet. The last update of RIP does not support the Stylus 3000 printer, and I don't think it's native anyway. The set-up I was using was a "non-supported workaround", so I may just be out of luck. Which is a pain, because the printer still has some miles on it. I may try to see if I can use an older Mac running 9.2.2 as a print server.
    Robolab has an OSX native update out, so we will get that.
    What I found curious was that both pieces of software, or the USB connectivity required by both, was broken by Tiger.

  • Printer driver and USB problems

    Hello,
    I have the Photosmart C4780 printer and scanner, and have been running into issues. My computer (vaio duo 13) runs Windows 8.1 64-bit. 
    When I connect it by USB, a message pops up saying that Windows does not recognize the device, and that it has malfunctioned. I thought it might be a driver problem, so I downloaded the PS_AIO_06_C4700_140_408 file. After clicking it, it would start extracting, but would exit as soon as it hits 100%. I waite for at least ten minutes, and no further windows came up to continue installation. I did this a couple times, all with the same result. The simple driver does not work either, and the Print and Scan doctor just tells me to download the file I mentioned above. I also attempted to reinstall, but there were no files that I could find for the printer.
    I am at a loss for what could be the problem. Any help would be much appreciated!

    I have exact same problem with Lenovo Yoga 11s.
    Driving me insane, and printer will soon be dispached through my window.
