T61 USB Human Interface Device drivers not loading after undocking

I have a T61 and after I undock (correct method, by pressing the eject button on the docking station and waiting for it to turn green) the laptop from my advanced docking station, the external mouse does not work.  More specifically, this is the error message that I can see in the USB Human Interface Device with the yellow ! in Device Manager.
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38) "
Is there a fix for this? If I reboot the laptop then I can get my external mouse to work because the drivers  can load, but I don't want to have to reboot after undocking.

Regarding your keyboard problem, it seems to be a very low-level problem. The driver cannot access the Control Registers on the Keyboard. By going down from your error message to the lowest level, one can see that it's probably a simple "outb" operation (write data on a specified address, shouldn't fail if the address is correct...) that doesn't succeed.
So I think you defintely need to look in your BIOS if you didn't deactivate something when upgrading, or messed with some address space, or many things I cannot think of right now.
Good luck

  • USB Human Interface Device

    Hi, I have an annoying yellow ! in my Device Manager for the USB Human Interface Device. Can anyone point me to the correct driver to remove it please?

    Hi Laurent, I got your email with files and replied with my findings. However my email to you was bounced back to me as undeliverable, so I will reply on here.
    I tried the files you sent; but unfortunately they had no effect using 64 bit Windows. I have since gone back to 32 bit; but not because of the problem with the human interface; I have decided to go back because my printer and my scanner manufacturers do not and will not be providing 64 bit drivers, and not only that; there are still other things that 64 bit are just not ready for.
    So having said that; reverting back to 32 bit has enabled your previous version to work perfectly as expected. I do still have my 64 bit setup on a spare hard drive, so I can go back to that anytime if you wish me to try something else; being that it will be inevitable to use 64 bit Windows in the not too distant future.
    Regards

  • Vista thinks bluetooth 'radio is "USB Human Interface Device"

    Hi all,
    I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks now; it came straight out of the blue - perhaps triggered by an update? I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate (still in trial period, actually, as I haven't bothered to buy it yet) on a 17'' MBP, and everything has been working fine as far as Mac hardware... or was... until my bluetooth radio suddenly stopped showing up.
    My Bluetooth devices still connect fine (well, only my wireless keyboard which doesn't need to be paired, my Mighty Mouse isn't working now), but do not show up in the Bluetooth Devices control panel applet. My radio shows up as a 'USB Human Interface Device' in the Device Manager, and no amount of uninstalling/reinstalling my BC drivcers is helping.
    This is becoming a problem for me; I do a lot of gaming and need my Mighty Mouse.
    All help is REALLY appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Bookworm

    It IS, but so are all USB Mice, Keyboards, etc,etc,etc. My issue is that because Windows Vista cannot specify it as being an Apple Bluetooth Radio, I cannot control it - and thus cannot use it to setup my mouse. The issue seems to be that the drivers for the Apple Bluetooth Radio are not being used when my adapter is detected - instead, Windows is defaulting to a generic USB driver which would work for most USB devices - but doesn't allow things that require specific device types to work, such as pairing with bluetooth.
    Happily, I have managed to obtain a fairly good USB mouse... the problem is that this ***** up a much-needed accessible USB port. I have to get a port extender or something...

  • USB Human Interface Device (HID) in LabVIEW

    How do you write/read to/from an HID USB device in LabVIEW? Note that this
    is not a mouse or keyboard but does use the standard Windows XP HID driver.

    Matt,
    Neither of the bellow worked. I believe this answer's why:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/273BB58D3B52CE6886256F3B00714D03
    The device registers as an HID and the above link says that I would have to
    change firmware to fix the problem. That's not going to happen because the
    hardware is made by another Mfg.
    Any other ideas for communication to my USB/HID device? All I need to do is
    write and read data from it. The device driver shows an hid.dll. I wonder
    if I could call the DLL to accomplish what I need to do. The problem is
    that I don't know where to find documentation to setup the DLL call.

  • Fglrx drivers not loading after update to Kernel 3.7.3

    Hi,
    I just updated to kernel 3.7.3 and the fglrx module isnt loading. I just read the catalyst wiki page again and I didnt install the catalyst-hook package or add fglrx to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf hooks array.
    Not sure what todo?
    Thanks.

    Excellent thanks. I didnt want to go messing around and screwing it up but that was simple enough. I also installed the catalyst-hook package and linux-headers for next time. Hopefully wont be a problem.
    Thanks.

  • Windows reports that the "USB-IF xHCI USB Host Controller" device is not working properly.

    I have been receiving the following error and instructions to fix it for a long time now, prior to updating to Windows 8.1:
    A device is not working properly
    Windows reports that the "USB-IF xHCI USB Host Controller" device is not working properly.
     Recommended solution to the problemUse Windows Update to check whether new device drivers are available. Proceed as follows:
    Open Device Manager
    Search in the device manager for the device whose driver you would like to update and double-click on the device name. You may first have to enable the "Show hidden devices" entry in the "View" menu.
    Switch to the Driver tab, click Update driver and follow the instructions
    When I follow the instructions and try to update the driver, I am told "The best driver software for your device is already installed."
    How do I update the driver to stop receiving the error?

    Pancenter,
    Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
    The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Tristan...
    This is what you have, correct?
    http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
    This from Alesis..
    "The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
    Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
    My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

I have requested the update the driver option but it is not updating. How can I fix the hotkey driver please? I need help. Toshiba tech support won't help unless I have them $170.00 I don't have that, I am a full time student?

  • Usb hard drive not loading after security update

    usb hard drive not loading after security update
    I can't seem to find any other posts about this problem.
    I have three external hard rives connect by a USB hub to my iMac.
    Problem is that if I turn on the hard drive(s) AFTER start up I get a message that the drive either was not recognized by the OS or that it was ejected unexpectedly. 
    I get the same issue but not all the time if I turn them on before I boot the iMac.
    I used the disk drive utility to "repair" the drives but they always come back as "probably ok". 
    If I restart the iMac with the drives connected (on), it seems to work but not all the time.
    A bit annoying as I am wondering if the drives are OK or not.
    I don't always need the drives as they are for backing up images from my camera using Apreture.
    This all began after i did the latest security update.
    is the update to blame?
    mahalo.

    Yes, you can still use those instructions to reset the PRAM.
    You said that you booted to your install disk and that your primary drive did not show up at the Select a Destination screen? That usually means that the computer is either not recognizing your partition, or it's not recognizing the hard drive itself.
    Start with this article and follow all the steps even if you already tried them. I suspect that you'll get to step 4 and you'll end up having to call Applecare. If you haven't done those steps, they're most likely going to make you do them anyway, so you might as well get them done before the call.

  • Itunes is not loading after i've updated to ios7. What do i do?

    Itunes is not loading after i've updated to ios7. What do i do?

    Try a Restart.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.
