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.

  • Dual-Boot; Restart and boot other o/s USB devices not working

    I have issue with my msi z97-g43 mobo and Windows dual o/s PC.
    Booting with win-8.1, USB devices working very well.Restaring windows 8.1 have NOT any issue.
    After shutdown & start PC, choosing to boot windows 7 on bootmanager, USB devices not working in Win-7.
    System no hang or occur any error/BSOD message.All startup programs run as normal.
    I tried to re-plug usb devices but notting happens...  Still not working
    But after the win-8.1 shutdown, if i switch off PSU power button, watting ~1 munute for discharge.
    After power up PC and boot with windows 7 all usb devices works normaly.
    I checked all internal connections. 2 times disassembly all hardware and re-built system, nothing changed.All windows updates and latest drivers installed.
    I'm sure other H/W is OK, but I thnik this mobo have a fault.

    Thank you for reply.My PC system specs:

    Before I suspect maybe have a short circuit to pcb or similar thing cause this issue.I take out all parts outside the chassis, and ran this system on the antistatic bag and box.Nothing has been changed.
    I have Cooler Master Devastator(MB24 + MS2k) USB keyb+mouse set and tplink wn722n usb wireless dongle.
    I have one more pc,based on AMD 970+SB950 chipset mainboard and AMD CPU.I exchange all parts to this amd mainbaord and tested for faulted hardware.All intel system H/W's is ok.All works great
    Dual boot works perfectly.Not needs to switch off psu/power back and run system again.
    I think msi z97-g43 mainbıoard have a problem.

    iphone 4S will not charge, error that USB device not working, found any suggestions?

    Hello Chambless,
    The troubleshooting steps below can help get your iPhone to charge.
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

  • IPod Nano Restore, USB Device Not Recognized. Windows XP. What to do?

    Hi,
    I tried to reset my iPod Nano but it did not work. It has a blank screen with the backlight on, and the music is playing. Someone suggested that I do a restore.
    However, when I connect my iPod to my PC, it says it is an Unrecognized USB device. I have Windows XP Pro, the restore application says it cannot initialize iPod.
    What am I to do?

    Someone here said that you need two drivers usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf I found them at driverguide.com. I have not tried to load them yet but I will probply tommorrow.My coumputer will not see ipod as a hard drive, it loads video fine and all my music but no pics.

  • USB device not recognized in Windows 7?

    I have the strangest problem I've yet to encounter with my computer.
    As you may have guessed from the title, I am constantly getting the message displayed.  Any fix that has been suggested has been unhelpful or worked for a bit until my computer restarted again (I'll get to that)
    First off it started when I noticed my mouse pointer was acting very weird, it was just a vertical line of dots.  A forum said an easy fix to the problem was to update my GPU drivers, which I needed to do anyway.  So after an update to the GPU drivers
    I log into my computer (which is password protected, this is slightly important to remember) and I try to go to youtube.  I click down at the start menu to type in chrome and nothing appeared.  I was able to move the mouse around and click on things
    but I was unable to type anything.
    Luckily for me I have a laptop as well so I checked for any solutions on my laptop and they said that it was a problem with the model of my keyboard specifically  This was odd to me considering most of the problems happened OTB for the keyboard and not
    a month after use, plus I was able to plug it into my laptop and it worked just fine.  When I plugged it back into my desktop it gave me the same problem: I couldn't type anything, I also noticed the little pop-up informing me that the USB device was
    not recognized.  "Well, great, time to get my backup keyboard," I thought to myself.  Except, that was not the case either.  I plugged my backup keyboard into every single USB port on my Computer Tower, even going so far as to unplug
    the mouse.  Absolutely nothing was working.  I constantly restarted my computer and each time got the same problem; I'm able to type in my password to log in and then a few minutes after that the USB device stops working.  Sometimes after plugging
    one of the keyboards back into a USB port I would get a message saying it was installing drivers; and then would fail in installing any.
    After a bit I navigate through the menus with just my mouse and do a system restore to before the GPU drivers were installed.  After that, I started windows in SafeMode and then turned my computer off.  Finally, I unplugged my computer completely
    of all plugs (including my power plug), waited a few minutes, then plugged everything back in again.  Amazingly, this fixed the problem, but then it got worse.
    After about an hour of gaming, my computer BSOD's, most likely because I decided to alt+tab out of Tomb Raider during a loading screen to stop a video I had on.  I restart my computer again, and then the problem returns, only this time absolutely
    no USB devices work except my one keyboard.  The backup keyboard, and both my regular mouse and backup mouse stop working a few minutes after logging in.  I try to fix the problem like before, but to no avail.  Any USB device I plug in either
    gives me the "USB device not recognized" or attempts to install the drivers and then fails.
    If there is ANY way to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Try cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone. Use a magnifying glass to see what is stuck inside, a dry toothbrush and/or wood or plastic toothpicks (nothing metal). If that doesn't resolve the problem your phone is broken.

  • Usb device not recognised by windows 7 on hp pavillion dv5094ea

    Im having problems since ive updated my HP dv5094ea from windows xp up to windows 7,
    Since the upgrade my usb ports arent functioning, i keep getting an error bubble saying
    "Usb device not recognised" - device has malfunctioned
    ive tried several trouble shooters including going into device manager and deleting the INFCACHE.1 with no luck, im starting to assume its a driver update issue...
    can anyone help?

    Hi:
    W7 should have had the USB 2 drivers native to its driver database.
    The only suggestion I can offer is to manually install the Vista graphics driver for your model which may have some motherboard drivers included.
    Download and run the file below.  You will probably get an unsupported operating system error.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-48969-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    Close out of any error windows.  Go to the device manager. Click to expand the display adapters category.
    Click on the display adapter listed there.  Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.  Select the Browse my computer for driver software and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
    That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp35203.  Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and the driver should install.
    After you reboot, see if the USB ports are working.

    3. Click the Hardware tab.
    4. Click Device Manager.
    5. Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers

  • Nokia e65, USB device not recognized using windows...

    Hello,
    When I am trying to connect e65 to pc  I always get "USB device not recognized". I tried to reinstall nokia pc suite, after that I've restarted phone and PC but it doesn't help. I tried to install older nokia pc suite versions and it doesn't help too. I'am using CA-53 cable. 
    P.S. I tried to reinstall only Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver but nothing happened..
    Maybe someone has a solution for this?

    @techvitalie
    Is it only as Windows USB mass storage device that it is not recognised by PC or same issue if connected in PC Suite mode with PCSuite/Ovi Suite installed?

  • 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.

  • 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!
