USB 3.0 won't work in Vista 32 bit.

I have an MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard in a system that dual boots into either Win 7 64bit or Vista 32bit. None of the USB 3.0 ports work in Vista, but  they work in W7. I assumed that this was a driver problem, but I cannot find any USB 3.0 drivers for Vista. I downloaded the W7 32 bit drivers, but when I tried to install them I got an error message that my OS was not supported.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi,
That's an issue that Win Vista is not really supported by anything since it's very bad OS (sorry I am being honest). The only place you might find correct USB drivers is MSI themself as I couldn't find the right ones:

    No, however, I've encountered similar issues with mice and keyboards using USB -> PS/2 adapters.
    I'd suggest another solution: A simple USB hub. No external power is necessary for mice and keyboards so you can use whatever hub is least expensive. A hub will also provide you with extra USB ports that you can use with other devices. You can never be too rich or too thin or have too many USB ports

  • Canon LIDE210 scanner won't work with 64 bit arch.

    I have a Canon LIDE 210 flatbed scanner which is supposed to be fully supported in linux - for many many months if I plug it in, and start up GIMP to use the scanner plugin - initially it looks like it will work but although it successfully completes a preview scan, if I ask it to do a full scan of a page or section of page it makes abnormal noises, and ends up usually screaming as if in pain, and then the sane application hangs. This is if it is plugged in to a laptop with usb3 cable connecting the laptop to the scanner, and running 64 bit arch.  Yet the same scanner plugged in to a laptop which only has usb2 ports, and running 32 bit arch works flawlessly running the scanner in the same way.
    I expect that the 32/64 bit arch issue is not relevant, and it is some problem with the usb3 drivers not being compatible with the usb2 capability of the scanner that is causing the failure.
    I have seen some suggestion (from a Ubuntu forum) to "In the UEFI/BIOS change the setting under USB configuration, "XHCI Pre-Boot mode" from enabled to disabled. In some BIOS configurations this setting is known as "XHCI Mode". Is there a better way to resolve this since usb3 external drives and usbkeys work fine without this change on the same machine.
    Does anyone have any experience with running usb flatbed scanners via a usb3 port, and if so is there a workaround that is known to work with this particular scanner? I have seen the thread at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184816 which also did not lead to a solution.
    It would be nice to find a way to deal with this although perhaps a newer linux compatible scanner that is equivalent to the LIDE 210 is available that is compatible with usb3?

    Hi Steve,
    The Canon Australia web site is only showing v4.5.1.2 of CanoScan Toolbox for the LiDE35 (same version for Windows and Mac). There is no mention of v5.0.1.3 being supported by this model so this could explain the application is unable to locate it. The applications typically have a built-in list of support devices and if the 35 is not in this list then it won't work. Again with reference to the Canon web site, the LiDE 600F and 70 show v5.0.1.4 of CanoScan Toolbox. Later models, such as the LiDE 100 and 200 released last year, don't use the Toolbox application. Instead they work with MP Navigator or OS X apps like Preview.

  • Video IPod & IPod Nano won't work on Vista 64-bit system

    I recently updated my OS to Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit system on my Intel Pentium Core 2 Quad PC. Somehow, I have a problem using my Video Ipod & Ipod Nano. After downloading the latest Itune+Quicktime & plugging in the USB cord connecting my IPods, i got this blue screen & different error message. When I reboot my PC, it won't run my OS unless I unplugged my Ipods. I tried istalling the old IPod software that comes with the IPod without any luck. Any idea on what's causing this problem? Are there any patch for Vista 64-bit that make the OS work with IPod?

    Hi,
    I’ve got the new version of Itunes (7.6.1) but I still get the error where it tells me to download and install a 64-bit version of Itunes. This is just ridiculous!!! I bought my IPOD touch before Christmas and i still haven’t been able to use it!
    I've uninstalled and installed itunes and all that rubbish about 5-6 times now, i've deleted everything to do with Apple from my machine and also nearly killed my machine because i messed around with the registry (that's my fault :P)
    NOTE: I used IE 64-bit version to download the installer.
    Anyone have a solution to the problem?

  • Usb 1.0 won't work - need help urgently

    Happy holidays and hope Santa is working overtime
    Got iPod nano for my son and mrs. and can't get them to work properly. Long time mac users, G3 iBook at home (mac 10.3.9), g4 iMac at office but neither have usb 2.0 as older machinese.
    For some reason, even after downloading 7.5 iTunes, when we connect new nano with usb connector supplied in box, only get that apple icon popping up; can't connect for some reason, can't see nano on desktop.
    Tried it with old Sony Vaio, running WinXP but a gain older model, no usb 2 and only usb 1 ports. Can't read there either.
    Funny, when I plug with my old 3rd gen iPod charger, using firewire with common plug, it's charging fine.
    Can someone explain if it's the usb port that's a problem? Mrs. leaving to visit mother for few weeks early tomorrow morning and I have appointment with genius bar at 10 am - but too late to help her.

    Yep, on my iBook, got message finally that needed 10.4.8.
    Re-tried with WinXp (not sure if SP2) and got it connected, trying to rip some CD to sync and completed about 5 cd. After ejecting nano, couldn't get it to 'turn-on' which is weird - so i'm leaving it connected to pc to charge (instructions say 3 hrs).
    My suspicion is this is a lemon.
    Btw, can i charge this generation nano with the 'traditional' firewire charger that came with my old iPod (3rd gen)? If we do get it to work, my wife won't have pc to charge with when traveling and I'd like to give her my charger to take along?
    Thanks,

  • USB Memory Stick won't work on my Dual Core Intel Mac...

    Just bought a 4gb memory stick a few days ago - it doesn't seem to like my Dual Core Intel Tower at all. I am plugging it into the USB slot at the front and trying to copy a load of files onto it.
    It's got around 1gb on it now and I can't seem to copy another single file onto it. I was copying folders of files, but just trying to copy a single file the finder seems to hang and I can't cancel the copy process - I have to hold the power on button to regain control of my Mac - is this normal??
    The stick works perfectly on a PC...
    Disk Utility reports no problems, and reformats OK.

    Be sure that the memory device is not NTFS formatted. You need to use FAT32 else MacOS Extended for it to work.

  • I have the latest mac desktop  op mountain lion,plugged in the canon pixma ip90v and get a message drawing too much power from usb and it won't work?

    I cannot get the canon pixma ip90v to work with the computer.I get a message about drawing too much power from the usb.

    You need to plug in the power cord that was included with the printer and then use it with USB, or use the power cord included with the printer and access it wirelessly from your iMac. I access my Canon MP560 wirelessly from my iMac, which works well. 

  • ITunes 7.6.1.9 Won't work on Vista Home Premium

    Need someones help. Bought an IPOD and trying to install ITunes for the first time. Appears to install correctly, but ITunes and QuickTime won't open. Immediate error states "Itunes QuitTime Player or Itunes has quit working."
    I've re-installed the program several times (about 8). I've cleaned the registry, turned off all virus protection, etc. Nothing helps.
    Looking for a solution before I return the IPOD.

    search in the forum for the thread "iTunes 7.6 won't shut down, freezes computer". At the very end, I found the solution to disable the "bonjour" service and to disable sharing the music in iTunes.

  • USB-CDMA Modem won´t work after shut dowen by my PB

    I´m using a VTION V1810 CDMA modem to connect to the Internet when travelling.
    Works fine, only after the connection is shut down by either the PB or due to inactivity timeout after 30 min, I can not connect anymore.
    I tried several procedures like connecting to another USB port, setting up a new connection and so on.
    Just after some time if the device is not plugged in, I get lucky and it connects again as if there was no rain in this world...
    Any ideas?
    I already learnt that I always have to connect it to the same USB port, and that it is luck if it works over a hub.

    Sorry, I was not clear enough. The modem had a problem that involved it not hanging up. I wondered if there might be a similar process that was occurring with the CDMA modem.
    With the CDMA modem I use, there was no script/driver but I connect using the "null modem 115200" setting (in modems). I see there are a few other modem settings in there.
    As a point, have you updated the OS recently? Sometimes this will mean that a driver does not integrate properly and we would have to wait until the maker updates the driver too. It might be worth your while to try the other settings.

  • USB 3.0 won't work on Pavilion P6-2330

    The 3.0 USB ports on my windows 8 Pavilion P6-2330 desk top have stopped working.  I tried unistalling but the intaller can not find the drivers.
    I am getting a code 28, and locaton:  on AMD USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0096 (Microsoft) when I go to the devise list.
    The USB ports are now showing up as unknown devices.
    Can you help me get the right drivers?
    Thanks.

    Install the graphics driver softpaq again. It has all of the chipset drivers.  If this does not work, then you have a motherboard with dead usb ports. There is a workaround, as always. There are usb 3.0 PCI Express x1 adapters available for sale at most stores that sell PC devices. You simply connect them to an available PCI Express x1 slot and then boot up your desktop. That should resturn usb 3.0 ports to you desktop.
    Take a look at NewEgg.com to see what I mean.

  • Shuffle reset utility won't work with Vista

    seriously? there has to be an answer, a download somewhere with the update for vista. finding a friend with XP or 2000 is just dumb. why did it not recognize my shuffle and suggest i use the reset utility? how dumb.
    okay, mostly just venting, but i want my tunes on my shuffle so i can jog in relative comfort.

    when i plug my shuffle in, i get a message saying "Itunes cannot recognize this Ipod at this time" then below it, "You must restore this Ipod with the Ipod reset utility before it can be used with Itunes. For help, click 'more information'" So I do.
    i am then led to the May 2, 2008 apple download page for the Ipod reset utility, and i start the downboad, but before it installs all the way, i get an error message that says "Ipod reset utility requires that your computer is running Windows 200o or Windows XP" and then i get kicked out.
    so, no, the standard reset doesn't work as itunes doesn't even recognize my shuffle.
    sorry, i should have been more descriptive the first time. I was a little pissy.

  • My Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital won't work with Vista

    First off, I wasn't sure whether to put this in the vista or Sound Blaster form so sorry if this is the wrong place.
    Anyways. I got a new computer two days ago and just installed my old Sound Blaster li've 5. Digital (model SB0220) card into the new desktop. Vista, the operating system I'm using now tried to find the drivers but failed. Then I tried looking them up on the creative site with the drop down lists but it didn't pull up anything either.
    I plan on buying an m-audio 2496 sound card soon but for now I would like to get back to recording and the Sound Blaster card is much better than the stock motherboard audio setup.
    If anyone knows of any drivers for this card it would be extremely helpful.
    ThanksMessage Edited by 85Dave on 07-0-200707:22 AM

    hmm...thanks.
    Well its not that bad really. sound blaster cards are not made for recording audio and so I was going to get the m-audio 2496 card anyways.
    I'm just waiting for drivers on that which are supposed to come some time in the 2nd half of 2007.
    Thanks for the info.

  • Since installing Lion, my usb audio interface won't work.

    Its an Icon cube-mini. The software installs, but says no device connected?

    thx a brody, I apprecate your reply.  Tho, that is only part of the issue.  I did as you advised & installed a version of Firefox dedicated for intel CPU...now my icon looks perfect.  However...I still have the same issue.  ONLY the menu bar shows up for both firefox and google chrome (chrome never had the circle/line issue that firefox did).
    The main issue is that the 2 browsers, besides Safari, worked for several days to 2 weeks on lion.  Now when i click the icon for either, the menu bar is the only thing that shows up.  I can select anything in the menu bar - my bookmarks even show in the bookmark menu, but don't go anywhere when selected.  No browser page no matter what I do.

  • Application won't work on 64-bit OS

    My associate and I recently got hired to replace the IT department at a business with an infrastructure that was sort of piecemealed together over the last 40 years.  We have a new and more efficient infrastructure in development, but, in the meantime,
    we have an issue that needs to be addressed to keep operations running smoothly in the early stages of implementing our system.
    Our predecessors initially created our database using MySQL and eventually tried to awkwardly convert everything to SQL Server.  They weren't very successful and we currently run both databases in tandem and our employees interface the databases with
    a program written in Cobalt.  We are entirely rewriting the database in SQL Server and building the interface application in .NET.  However, we still need to function on a day-to-day basis until everything is rebuilt and this is where our dilemma
    begins.  
    The existing Cobalt interface only functions effectively on 32 bit operating systems, and one of the first stages of our new system is to upgrade the workstations to Windows 8.1 (eventually 10), which only come in the 64-bit flavor.  We currently use
    XP mode in MS Virtual to utilize the interface, and theoretically, we can continue to do so with VMWare, but I'd like to get away from virtualizing and run the Cobalt interface on 64 bit machines until we can implement our new .NET application.  Does
    anyone have any suggestions on how we could accomplish this?

    Yes, it is Cobol.  Sorry, my mistake.  The workstations access the program from a server share, so the compatibility mode isn't an option (the options in the compatibility tab are grayed out).  I have attempted the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter,
    going through all of the combinations that were available with no luck.
    Yes, the applications do work correctly on 32 bit operating systems, but do not have full functionality on 64 bit operating systems.  I apologize if my phrasing was a little vague.  When the user opens the application by clicking on the icon, both
    systems open a window similar to:
    (note that this is not the exact interface, it is a close representation). The application is primarily used for data entry and retrieval. The options are listed and the user enters in a numerical entry that corresponds to a menu option.  When used
    on a 32 bit OS, the application will execute the desired request.  When used on a 64 bit OS, an
    Invalid Entry message appears.  In other words, when the program is used on a 64 bit operating system, it won't recognize entered commands.  
    I hope that this clarifies the issue, and any assistance would be appreciated.
