Keyboard USB Prots not working in Windows

When in Windows with the mouse attached to the keyboard USB port, the mouse will light up but does not move. Do I need to change a configuration or Driver.
When in OS X (10.5.2) everything works perfectly. I'm Using Boot Camp 2.0, Windows XL Home edition. I Loaded all the Drivers from the Boot Camp 2.0 driver disk. Everything on the system is working fine!!

Hi
Since this is a Windows and/or BootCamp issue and not related to Leopard, I suggest reposting this in the BootCamp forum where you will most likely get many replies and even a fix.

Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit

Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit
Anyone had successs in this or another Bluetooth Keyboard after a bit of a struggle? What did you do to get it working? When I Add Device in Bluetooth it sees the keyboard but enlessly scans for it when I try to select and connect. The Rocketfish Bluetooth mouse worked just fine.

My friend, i have both, the bluetooth mouse and keyboard here that your talking about. and the keyboard was a struggle to pair with the windows 7 64 bit.... i think i spent 2 days working with it. and i didnt try anything special, i just kept trying to pair
it, and unplugging the dongle and working with it... and after a while. it worked... Lately though, i have been looking into getting a wired mouse and keyboard becuase of the delays and sleep time i have with my current keyboard(rocketfish). supposidly there
is a way around the delays but it disables all the options on your keyboard. IE the media buttons, and web browsing features. and my mouse keeps dieing off too....
Also, after researching these products more, i found that alot of people experienced similar problems with them, Being delays and mouse failure. Even with fresh batteries and all. The products werent meant to be used long term(2-3 years) for extensive use...
I dont know about you but i thinki paid 100 bucks for the pair so thats only 25 bucks a year... Which is kinda silly considering i coulda got a better one that wont cough up on me.
If anyone reading this finds a good wireless keyboard that doesnt delay, and a mouth that doesnt delay...(my biggest concern). Please mention it. i am very interested in.

Keyboard and touchpad not working after Windows 10 update

after udating windows 10 on my probook 4440s keyboard and touchpad not working. if i press a key for 10seconds the key then shows up in the screen. and touchpad is worst. it freezes all the time barely moves. but with usb mouse it works fine

It's known that installing Windows from an external DVD drive on a Mid 2013 MacBook Air causes that the keyboard doesn't work after finishing the installation. The fix is to install Windows by using a USB drive. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4599

USB MIDI not working in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

The problem is that even though my devices are recognized in Control Panel/ Sound and in Device Manager, no MIDI data actually flows and I cannot sync my keyboard to the Yamaha software that edits it. The error message in the Yamaha software reads
“The following MIDI ports can not be opened at this time”. At first, MIDI was working and I could sync up, but after about a week, right around the time I uninstalled and re-installed a MS Lifecam, it failed and has not worked since.
I have been working directly with Yamaha tech support on the issue for some time. I have a Yamaha SX70 XS keyboard, which is recognized by Windows as a connected USB device. It is self-powered, not powered by USB. I am using the Yamaha USB-MIDI driver version
3.1.2 for Windows 7 64-bit (the latest driver). And the latest versions of all their editing software for Win7 64-bit. They assure me that those work for other users of Win7 64-bit. In my case though, everything shows up in Windows, but MIDI doesn’t actually
work. And I cannot sync to the keyboard due to the above error message.
Yamaha tells me that their USB-MIDI driver is installing fine on my machine, except that it’s missing a windows driver at the bottom of the driver stack. (You can see this in Device Manager, Properties/Driver tab, then Driver Details. The missing driver
is ksthunk.sys, which I think handles kernel streaming. Sounds like that would relate to MIDI data. They have never heard of this driver not showing up there, and they cannot reproduce the problem. ksthunk.sys is on my machine in c:\windows\system32\drivers\
and in the registry the image path is \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\ksthunk.sys
All devices are “working properly” in Windows Device Manager, despite that missing driver. Yamaha MIDI Driver is shown in Control Panel/Sound, and it can be worked with there (opened, closed, configured, etc.). I have also tried three different USB
cables (but those shouldn't be an issue since the keyboard is showing up in Windows).
I was also advised by Yamaha to edit registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32 and remove all midi, midi1, midi2, etc entries, then uninstall and reinstall all drivers. Which I did, but it didn't help.
So far, no amount of re-installation, event viewing, uninstalling devices, numerous reboots,etc has fixed it. On this machine, that driver just doesn’t hook up to the Yamaha MIDI driver and show up in the stack.
So it looks like it may be a Windows 7 config problem on my machine, and I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice on how to fix it. The Microsoft forums contain a fair number of users reporting similar problems, some are audio and some are webcam
related. I've followed those threads, and done several of the suggestions, but haven't found a solution to this one.
This is a Dell XPS 8300 Windows 7 64-bit PC with all the latest updates, only about six weeks old. I've been struggling with the MIDI problem for most of that time. I'm an IT professional (network and systems admin), so you can be fairly technical
in your response.
Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks in advance.

I am so glad I found keyman7's description, since I have exactly the same problem.
The problem is not related to MIDI output! I have it with a pure USB-MIDI-input device (keyboard), whichs produces "unknown externeal error" every time I try to select it as input. The same thing occurs with a USB-MIDI-Cable.
I compared the driver details from my system (Dell T1500 windows 7 pro 64 bit) with those of another windows 7 pro 64 bit. On that other system the device works like a charm (so it is not the hardware, either).
On the other system I find ksthunk.sys in addition to the modules that are listed on my system as well (beeing \windows\system32\drivers\drmk.sys, ..\prtcls.sys, ..\USBAUDIO.sys and \windows\system32\SysFx.dll, ..\WMALFXGFXDSP.dll).
Can it be some other USB driver is interfering with this driver stack? I have no idea how to figure out which one it could be. Or, it has been suggested in other threads with somewhat similar looking symptoms, ksthunk.sys has been removed as UpperFilters
entry?
Help - please!

Laptop keyboard and touchpad not working in Windows 8.1

I just upgraded my S875-S7248 to Windows 8.1 last night. At first, everything seemed to be fine. However, this morning, the keyboard and touchpad had stopped working, and nothing I've tried has fixed it. After some research, I figured out how to open the Device Manager, and the both devices are showning the infamous yellow triangle. When I click on the device, I see the message "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is imcomplete or damaged (Code 19)". Both devices are PS/2 devices, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device, and updating the driver, but to no avail. In addition, I've run the Toshiba Service Station driver update, but it doesn't retrun any new updates either.
So, short of unstalling Windows 8, what can I do to fix this?
Solved!

Hi rmikereese
I had the same issue - but luckily you dont have to uninstall Windows 8 (at least I didn't need to)
Running a system restore should bring your computer before you installed the "critical updates" from Toshiba. Fortunately I had a usb mouse already installed (because like you, my touchpad was also not working)
1. Restart Computer and Sign In
Note: I had to use the on-screen keyboard option found on the Ease of Access found at the bottom left of the screen
2. Right Click on "My Computer" (aka "Computer" aka "This PC") and click on Properties
3. Click on System Protection (3rd option on the left menu)
At this point a new System Properties window will pop up already on a System Protection tab
4. Click System Restore...
5. Choose restore point --> I had an option for "Windows Update" which was a "Critical Update"
My computer reset the registry and my touchpad and keyboard began working again!
When Toshiba tells you that you have Updates (Toshiba Support Driver) IGNORE IT!
Hope this works for you!

USB ports not working in Windows-7 on MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 after Bootcamp installation

1) INSTALLATION
Using Bootcamp (v. 5.1.1, OS X Mavericks) in combination with an original Microsoft installation DVD disc using an external optical CD/DVD drive. Note, the installation is NOT from an ISO image. In the Bootcamp setup window only the lower two of the three setup options are clicked, namely a) to download Windows-7 drivers to a USB stick, and b) to partition the harddrive and then to install Windows.
2) PROBLEM
After the initial Windows-7 installation no devices attached to the USB ports can be found under Windows-7. The ports are dead. Also the WLAN did not work, so no internet connection was possible.
3) CAUSE
The problem is caused when you use a USB 3.0 stick as destination for the Bootcamp driver downloads. It seems that Windows-7 cannot recognize the USB 3.0 stick properly during the Bootcamp/Windows installation process, thus failing to do perform a proper installation of the Windows-7 drivers.
4) SOLUTION
Use a USB 2.0 stick and everything will work perfectly.
Follow these steps in order:
1) Connect your external DVD drive to a USB port and insert the Windows installation disc
2) Start the Bootcamp utility
3) In Bootcamp, remove the failed Windows-7 installation and partition
4) In Bootcamp, redo the entire Bootcamp process, but this time using a USB 2.0 stick
5) Follow all further steps in Bootcamp and later in the Windows-7 installation process
6) At the end of the installation procedures you will be asked to confirm the installation of all Bootcamp/Windows drivers.
7) Bootcamp installs all the drivers and your Windows-7 installation will work perfectly.

Ok, where is this Intel driver? There is no such thing "program manager" so I am guessing you mean the Programs and features control panel, but on my machine that whole window is blank after a clean install. I still cannot get the USB ports to activate. Two fresh installs and several different USB sticks later and no luck. Should I just give up and go to Windows 8.1? I really need Windows 7 to work if at all possible. Other devices shows one USB controller without driver software so I suppose that's the culprit. There are other USB devices installed under the USB section of Device Manager, but they apparently have nothing to do with the USB ports themselves, just devices like the trackpad etc. I've spent two hours on this so far and it's getting out of control. Why doesn't this work with generic USB drivers?

USB 3 not working in windows 7

I have a late 2013 macbook Air , i7 with 8MB, 512SSD. It has a Windows 7 Partition, the OSX side is fine but in Windows the USB 3 ports are not recognised as such and function as USB 2, they work ok but slow, have checked the USB drivers and most are dated 21/06/2006, apart from 2 ie USB3.0 extensive Host Controller and USB3.0 Root hub bothe dated 29/3/2013 version 2.5.0.19, and when i boot into Windows I keep getting messages to the effect the the devices could perform fater if conected to a USB3 port which they are. Any help appreciated, this is my first ftime on here. Thanks in advance

Spoke to Apple support and they basically suggest I play ping pong with Microsoft, on the basis that all works under OSX, but MS say it is up to Apple to supply the drivers for the hardware, just great. So looks like I shall continue as is for now.

Trackpad USB Mouse not working in windows xp safe mode

I can't access my windows side, after fixing a series of problems with the windows recovery console. I can only access my windows login screen through safe mode. However, now my trackpad and USB(corded) mouse won't work, to login and finish fixing my windows xp pro side. The only advise I have been finding is to use a ps/2 connector for the mouse to work (don,t have one) or access the bios to enable the USB port (don't have bios). So I'm kind of stumped. Is there a way to enable a USB mouse to work in safe mode with windows recovery console or on the mac side or somehow enable the trackpad? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Ok, will get a USB mouse and keyboard, and try again.
I do have Kaspersky installed, but it's a very annoying spyware by Baidu (the search engine in China) where the registry keys just couldn't be deleted under the Normal mode ....
Ok then, no offence.
In any case, thanks for the advice!
Hope it helps and good luck

I really need Linux in my laptop. Could anybody help ASAP.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This guide is not System Specific and not all of the option may show inside a certain BIOS version, Just Make sure that all optionlisted here that is available on a Lenovo BIOS is set as follows.
Ideacentre BIOS Menu is F1 and F2 for Ideapad.
Under Exit TAB
OS Optimization
OS Optimized
For the two options above:  Should be set as Disabled or Other OS
Under Boot Tab / Start up Tab
Boot Mode Should be set to Legacy
Boot Priority Should be set to Legacy First
UEFI Boot should be set to Disabled
Quick Boot should be Disabled
StartUp device Menu prompt should be Disabled
Quick Boot Should be Disabled
USB Boot should be Enabled
Secure boot Should be Disabled
Once everything are Set, make sure to save all changed by hitting F10 and Enter for Yes
    After Hitting enter It will Restart and You will have to keep on tapping F12
       this should pull up the Boot Menu letting you select where to boot.
If not succesful pulling up the boot menu after the restart, Power Drain the System and turn it on while hitting F12 Again.

USB Ports Not Working - L530 (Windows 8 - 64 Bit)

I was recently having problems with the USB ports and SD Card reader on my laptop coming out of hibernation. I had to start the Lenovo Solutions Center and run the Hardward Check and they would start working. Then, programs would start hanging in the middle of operation so I called the Lenovo support. They suggested I upgrade the BIOS.
Now that I have upgraded the BIOS, the applications still hang mid processing, but I cannot get my USB drivers working again. I have tried turning them on in the hardward and devices menu, without success. I have refreshed the whole computer and reset the settings to default in the setup utility. The only thing I haven't done is start from scratch with the recovery disks because I want to make a backup, which I can't do without the USB drive working.
Does anyone have any ideas that I can try?

Hi, ralbritton
There are two things I would try to see if they alleviate this issue: Firstly, I would go to the BIOS of the system and make sure that the USB ports are set to Enabled under Security ► I/O Port Access. Secondly, I would attempt to boot the system into Safe Mode and try to use the USB ports in this mode. If the USB ports do not work under these conditions then it is likely that the motherboard is going bad, which can also explain the hanging programs to an extent. If this turns out to be the case, then I would give Lenovo Support a call at 1-800-426-7378 and discuss a motherboard replacement.
To boot into Safe Mode into Windows 8:
When in Windows, open the Charms Bar from the right.
Select Settings
Select Power
While holding down the left shift key, click Restart
Continue to hold down the left shift key until a menu appears.
Select Troubleshoot
Select Advanced Options
Select Startup Settings
Click Restart
Select Safe Mode from the list that appears after boot (should be #4)
Best of luck,
Adam

Thanks

Please try the above procedure first as mentioned by SilentFlyer. If that does not work then highlight My Computer and Right Click on mouse. On the menu that pops up Choose Properties. Click on the Hardware tab and then Device Manager. Scroll all the way down to Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Click on the little plus sign to the left to open the sub-components. Does any one of them have a yellow exclamaation mark? That indicates that something is not functional. Please let us know what you see there.

USB mouse not working in Windows 8

I have Win8 64-bit OS. A couple of days back the USB mouse stopped working without any reason. The mouse works on other systems and there is nothing wrong with the hardware.
I found a couple of posts suggesting uninstalling the drivers or doing a system restore to get it to work again.
None of these work. I recently upgraded to Win 8.1 thinking that maybe the upgrade will help. It had no effect.
Can someone suggest any other known method ?

Hi,
The USB device issue can be always caused by driver or BIOS XHCI mode.
Besides above suggestions, you can also try to roll back the USB driver to an older version to see if we can get this issue fixed.
Please feel free to try it and let me know the result. If the reply is helpful, please remember to mark it as answer which can benefit our Community members.
Otherwise, please unpropose them and provide detailed information about current status.
We will wait for several days, if there is no response on this thread we consider that you got what you want or your issue has been resolved, then mark this case as answered. Thanks for your understanding.

Aluminum Keyboard USB Ports Not Working

I bought a new aluminum keyboard for my Intel Core 2 Duo iMac last week. Everything worked fine at first. I was able to connect my digital camera, flash drive, and iPod through the USB 2.0 port, while my mouse was plugged into the other.
Anywho, now the only thing that I can get to work in either port is my mouse! If I plug anything else in I get the following notice:
That's impossible being 1) it worked last week and 2) these are USB 2.0 ports.
I've tried restarting my system and running software update. Any solutions?

These ports being USB2.0 does not prevent this message at all. There is still a restricted power supply from 1 USB port (tracing back to your computer, all 3 items are being powered by the 1 port on the iMac). There is also the possibility that other USB items attached to the computer are having a very small effect, just enough to make a difference, so try with all others removed.
I would personally get a small USB extension cable plugged into the iMac, and plug your units into that. If you need more ports, a good powered hub will sort this out, as it can provide the 500ma current from each port, rather than splitting the available 500ma current between a keyboard, a mouse and another item.
