Problems with USB on Windows Vista - Satelltie A210 (PSAFGE)

Hi!
I just bought myself a new notebook - Toshiba A210 - 15Y (PSAFGE) with Windows Vista preinstalled. The problem is that the notebook doesn't want to work with any USB devices. Whether I try to use a simple USB stick, a mp3 player - he always asks for drivers. The first time I connected my mobile phone via USB it all worked.
When I tried it for the 2nd, 3rd etc. time it doesn't work. He always asks for drivers. Ok, so I installed the drivers for the phone - but the problem wasn't solved by this.
The Card-Reader is another problem - when I tried to use a SD-Card, he again asked for drivers.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?

Hi,
I'd advise you to reinstall Vista using the recovery cd that came with the laptop. Also, check in the device manager whether all the devices are installed correctly.
Come back if the problem persists, we'll think of something else.

  • Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

    For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
    I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop.  I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
    I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now.  It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
    This is what daily scenario is:
    When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get  internet access.  After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks.  The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
    Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
    I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
    I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also,  I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
    I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
    P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches. 

    FIOS is short for fiber optics.  fiber optics is different technology than DSL.   
    With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software.  AND they offer you a fix.

  • Touch persistently crashing - problems with USB/iTunes/Windows 7?

    Hi!
    I received a 64gb Touch for Christmas and have a persistent crashing problem. The Touch appears to be randomly crashing across any app or even just playing music - there seems to be no common link. This could be once in a few hours or repeatedly 4/5 times in succession.
    It's possible I have a faulty unit but wonder also if I may have an issue with updating/syncing as any sync that takes a reasonable amount of time disconnects and reconnects several times. I had this on my 1st gen Shuffle also - it's almost as though something is disconnecting the USB port and then reconnecting it. I'll mention at this point that I have no other USB related issues - I can run a backup of several hours to a USB harddisk and have no issues and no other USB device has had any sort of problem. If there is a USB issue, it's only happening with iTunes and my iPod(s).
    My theory then is that the initial upgrade of the Touch to 3.1.2 on first sync is being corrupted in some way because of the disconnecting issue and that then is causing the crashing as the os is unstable. The Touch has been reinstalled 3 times since purchase and each time having the disconnection issue appear and the resulting persistent crashing.
    Hopefully someone can tell me I'm wrong/right in my theory and maybe suggest a way I can fix the disconnection problem so I can at least try a clean reinstall of the Touch and see if that solves the crashing problem before I send the unit back.
    Cheers!

    I bought my iPod Touch 32gb last week and as soon as I plugged it in iTunes told me to update to v3.1.2 (came with v3.1.1 installed.) I accepted to install v3.1.2 and it finished installing then restarted. It flashed up in iTunes then disconnected and the ipod went blank, then came up with the apple log for about 1 or 2 minutes, then flashed up again in itunes. It then kept restarting and dissapearing. I left it doing this for about 15 minutes then unplugged the usb lead. It then restarted and all seemed fine.
    I had put a couple of albums on. Then I sorted out some more music and done another sync & the **** thing got stuck in the restart loop again.
    This was on my laptop which has Windows vista.
    I then thought maybe the update to v3.1.2 had gone wrong so i reinstalled it on my main pc. It didn't get stuck in the restarting loop so I thought I had solved the problem. I put my music on my main pc (Windows 7) and done a resync and the blasted thing got stuck in restart loop again.
    My son bought his 8GB touch this week and his came with v3.1.2 allready installed and he hasn't had a single problem with it. I hadn't downloaded any apps for mine but he has loads of them and it hasn't crashed once.
    I am taking mine back to the shop tomorrow as i have had it less than 10 days.
    Am not sure what it is but it is very annoying. I hope the replacement i get works properly.

    Beta 2 or RC1 candidate???? RC1 should support..........
    Beta 2 is real, slow and you have alot of updates to DL, but both are pre-release products and will not work 100%.
    Even when Vista is released, they will still be alot of hardware that will not work 100% and this is purely because software is always playing catch up to hardware.
    It was only September, when Nvidia released some Beta2/RC1 drivers that worked properly........

  • Network problems with TC and windows vista

    When I try to transfer data from my laptop using Windows vista to the TC, I get an network error message after a few seconds saying the computer is not connected to the network. I have no problems transferring small files (that take less than a few seconds to transfer) and the external router, my laptop and the TC are located close to each other. I tried almost everything but i don't know what the problem is.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Bastiaandp. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    There is quite a bit of dialogue going around the Internet about Windows Vista & Windows 7 when it comes to file sharing with either the Apple AirPorts or Time Capsules. Most of this dialogue seems to be revolving around the version of SMB used by the newer Microsoft OSs and that used by these routers for files sharing.
    A number of suggested solutions have been proposed, but none at this time, have provided a "permanent" solution. I too have experienced this same issue and have tried a number of these solutions. What finally worked for me was to make sure that: 1) The Workgroup name used on my Win 7 computer exactly matched the Workgroup name setting on the Disks > File Sharing tab within the AirPort Utility for my base station, & 2) That this name did NOT include any spaces. In my case, I used WORKGROUP for both settings.
    Since doing so over six months ago, I have had no problems copying/moving files between my PC and the AirPort, regardless of their size.

  • Problems with iTunes and Windows Vista

    I just got a new dell computer that came with Windows Vista. I'm new to Vista, and just downloaded iTunes. I was able to add my music and it will play, but I can't edit track information. I downloaded iTunes from the administrator account, so I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it. Please help!!

    For windows vista, like someone suggested, it may change your permission for editing a file and appear grey screen. As such, the following step might solve this problem.
    Go to "Computer", go to your portable hard drive, right click and go to "Properties". Select "Security" Under the "group and user names" choose your user name. To change the permission, choose "Edit" Under permission column, choose "Full Control". After this you may able to edit song information in your itunes.

    Fault Module Name: mcicda.dll

    That's part of your Windows operating system, relating to the MCI driver for cdaudio devices.
    Perhaps try running an sfc /scannow as per:
    [How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833]
    Does sfc repair any files? If so, does your iTunes start launching properly again afterwards?

  • Problem with usb connection on Vista

    Hi all
    I have LV 8.5 instaled on Vista Ultimate 32 bit. I have allso installed the NXT toolkit and the path 1_0_1.
    However I have never managed to get a connectin to my NXT hardware. It does not see any NXT device when I open the NXT terminal
    I'm running LV as administrator and have VISA 4.2 installed.
    Is anyone having the same problems? Are there any solutions?
    Thanks, Herbert

    You might want to try running Windows Update.  Sometimes it will find & install updated USB drivers for your onboard USB Controller.  If it doesn't I would go to your motherboard or PC manufacturer's website to download & install updated device drivers.  You may also want to update your sound card & video card drivers too.  You might also need a BIOS update.  I doubt it but it couldn't hurt to check to see if one is available.

  • Problems with iTunes in Windows vista

    Music Stops in itunes

    I am experiencing the exact thing with the iPhone 3G, Win XP and Outlook 2003. Spent 6 hours uninstalling and reinstalling everything and 2 hours at the Apple store. It's amazing that none of the Apple "Geniuses" had heard of this ever. They said "sorry" and asked if I wanted to return it. They blamed Microsoft, though the OutlookSyncClient dll I am getting an error from is actually Apple's. This is ridiculous.
    Everything synchs fine except for calendar.
    They said I should look for a corrupt calendar entry. I went to the length of backing up my calendar, deleting all of my entries and synching some of them. That worked ONE WAY and only in disconnected mode in Outlook. I cannot synch changes back from the iPhone to Outlook. I added back a few calendar entries from my backup and it errored out again with "outlooksyncclient has experienced an issue and needs to close"
    Any ideas are appreciated or I am returning this TOY to Apple. This is not a business phone if it can't synch calendars flawlessly.

  • K7N2 deltas mainboards have a problem with usb devices ??

    Ok here is my problem..
    I had installed WinXP Pro with SP1..
    I got a 20 GB USB2.0 disk.i connected it on the both front or rear usb ports.
    When i tried to transfer files to my usb disk or to my PC, in the middle of the copying, i got "Write Delay Failed" error and lost my usb connection..
    I had to plug it out and in again..
    Now, i have an DSL modem..Last night, i was disconnected from internet and my modem's lights gone..I plug it again, no lights..restarted my PC, also completely shutdown Windows XP..Again no lights..
    Then, formatted PC and installed windows 2000 Pr and SP4, until now, my modem worked fine..But USB 2.0 ports are still no use for my usb disk...
    In bios , it's enabled as USB 1.1+2.0..
    I think this K7N2 deltas have a problem with usb 2.0 devices and Win XP Pro..
    Some guys talking about, removing 9th wire earth, but couldn't understand which wire from where ? From mainboard or from usd device's cable ?
    Those cables are fabricated, i think it's impossible ?
    My processor is Athlon 2500+, ram Twinmos 512 DDR 400
    Thanks for reply

    I'm also having this problem. It's happening with my USB flash disk. I was almost buying another one when I tried it with Windows Vista on the same machine and it worked ok, then I tried Arch Linux (with kernel 2.6.30.5) on another machine and got the same error. After that I tried Ubuntu and it worked ok. Seems that Arch's kernel doesn't like my USB flash disk.

  • Satellite M70-190 - problem with USB

    Hi!
    After uninstall Windows XP and BIOS update, i have a problem with USB ports. My USB flash drive does't work. Windows find it as USB flash drive, but i can't find it in "My computer"
    So have anyone idea about this problem?
    PS External HDD works perfect, as USB mouse, and USB WiMax modem.
    Im hoping someone out there can help with this problem.

    Is described issue the same on all USB ports?
    I mean, I have Satellite M70-159 in front of me and since long time I use 8GB SanDisc and 2GB Toshiba USB stick and both devices are recognized properly.
    I still use original Toshiba WXP installation (updated of course).

  • Problems with Lightroom Library and Vista

    I have imported various photos in my Lightroom library but if I try to search some specific photos with the Keyword Tags or with Metadata Browser or also when I click on "All Photographs" to see all the photos together, no photo is showed on the grid.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I have windows Vista; is it maybe a Vista bug?

    It's more likely that you have a filter set. Double check that, and you'll probably see the images.
