Usb ports and shutdown problem

hi
im using win xp with bootcamo on my macbook 13"
sometimes i close the lid while xp still running.
when i open it, i cant use any of the usb ports....i have to restart in order to use the usb port again. and that brings me to another problem - the computer get stuck in the "logging off" screen...i need to press the power button for a couple of seconds, and then turn it on again....
so, usb not working and computer freeze on shutdown....
help anyone??
thanks

In Vista, you can go into Power Options control panel and change how and when devices, like USB, will go into low power mode or not.
Of course better drivers could help, too.
At this point, I would clean up and repair the drive; make sure you have a good image (WinClone).
Along with chkdsk there is system file checker that will look for some types of errors
sfc /scannow
But it sounds like the hard restarts have a toll in the file system's integrity.

  • My problem is that one of the USB ports and the device does not detect this and inactive but can not find how to reactivate.Help me please! greetings thanks!

    Hello good evening, I have a MacBook Pro and my problem is that one of the USB ports and the device does not detect this and inactive but can not find how to reactivate.
    Help me please! greetings thanks!

    Do you have the Firefox new tab page but the actual sites are missing, or do you have some other page?
    If you have some different page, try the quick fix in Fred McD's reply.
    If the sites are missing, did you use the Reset feature? That will clear the storage associated with the new tab page. I'm not sure it's possible to recover from that; you probably need to rebuild your page from scratch as you browse.
    For possible future reference, here is how to access the hidden setting for the page to display on new tabs:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
    Some gotchas:
    ''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system.
    ''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
    ''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to an unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Any luck?

  • USB ports and sound have stopped working

    As the subject reads, all 3 of my USB ports have stopped working and all sound.  In the device manager I receive a (code 10) for realtek high definition audio.  I have done everything I can think of at this point, I have even done a complete OS reinstall. Afterwards I have also updated with every possible driver file I can find from realtek and toshiba, I really don't know what else to do at this point, any thoughts? advice? anybody else with this problem?
    Windows 7
    Toshiba Satellite
    L505D-S5983

    Same here. I have an L505D that is doing the same exact thing. No sound device, all USB ports not working and the SD card reader not working either. Also when you close the lid and reopen it, the machine won't wake up. Have to restart to get it to come back. Haven't found ANYTHING in forums to help.
    Sound devices, USB ports and SD card doesn't show up in the Device Manager.
    Took the laptop to a local fixer-upper. Unhooked the charger, took battery out, put battery back in, then restarted the laptop without being hooked up to the charger and everything came back on. But only for a short while. After a couple of days, it does its thing all over again.
    Are we looking at a mother board issue here? SURELY someone out there in cyber space has a solution.

  • USB Ports and AGP Video Card on same IRQ

    I've got a tough one.  I have 6 USB ports.  Call them 1,2,3,4,5,6. Ports 1 and 2 work fine with my new USB 2.0 80GB External Harddrive.  This pair of ports 1 and 2 are direct into motherboard.
    However system crashes when I plug USB 2.0 External Drive into ports 3,4,5,6. These are Dports with cables that plug into the MB.  One of these Dports has the four error lights which are all green.  Western Digital has cautioned against sharing this drive with other IRQs.  Says that the video card and the WD harddrive require dedicated IRQs...but I have no control of how W XP assigns them.
    Ports #3-6 work fine with mouse,  scanner, and printer etc. However they fail when trying to use WD External Hardrive.
    I also checked IRQ settings and IRQ 16 is used for a USB Port and for my MSI AGP video card.  I believe this conflict is the cause of the problem.
    So help..how do I fix this dilemma?  
    I have Windows XP and see no way to change IRQs.
    BIOS does not even show IRQ as a choice..only 1-15.  Also BIOS is latests version for my MSI 845G Max L MS-6580 mother Board.  USB drivers are all Intel.  Video Card Is MSI AGP MS-8878 G4Ti/MX 420 w TV out.  Bios and Drivers are current.
    How can I run the USB 2.0 External Harddrive in Ports 3-6?

    I did load new Intel INF Drivers and AGP drivers yesterday.
    No luck USB Ports 3-6 still fail with External Hard Drive.
    I'm not clear on how to turn back on AICP or ACIP.  BIOS?
    Also not IRQs 16-23 are listed with active devices on the Device Manager
    16 has a USB Controller at 24c2
    16 also has AGP video card
    17 has Audio '97
    17 also has Fast Eternet.
    18 has USB Controller at 24c7
    19 has USB Controller at 24c4
    23 has PCI to USB Interface.  
    Port 3-6 do work fine with mouse, dig cam, Scanner, printer.  These ports only fail with External Harddrive plugged in.  Ports 1and2 work fine with external HD??
    So question is how do I check on the IRQ ports using AIPC or APIC...or whatever the name is...thanks folks.

  • Issue with USB ports and Blue Screen

    So, I had to send my Satellite L355-S7905 back and Toshiba had to do a factory restore.  I got it back 2 weeks ago and now I have a new problem; 2-3 times a day my mouse and printer stops working, these are connected via USB ports and I get a message that the device is no longer recognized.  I found a solution on the Microsoft site to go to Device manager and Scan for new hardware changes and then Restart.  I do this and when I restart I get the dreaded blue screen.  So I then have to unplug, take out the battery and turn the computer back on.  Then the mouse and printer are recognized.  This will work for several hours and then the whole thing happens again.  So, are there any long term solutions?  Can anyone tell my why this is happening?  Please note, that that the printer and mouse are not new and no new hardware has been installed since getting it back from the factory.
    Thank you for your help!!
    Jennifer

    start-->control panel-->system and security-->device manager-->expand the universal serial bus controllers-->right click and uninstall all of the USB root hubs-->restart-->they will reinstall on restart, and search for attached hardware.

  • K450 USB Ports and Card Readers not working

    When I plug in devices to my K450 ideacentre desktop USB ports, they are not recognized.  The same for a couple of memory cards I have tried in the card reader.  These are all working fine when put in other computers.  The card reader and USB ports do work when I insert a multi card reader into the USB port or a multi USB port into the USB port (and then use either of those to read the same external hard drive or memory cards that don't show up when installed directly).  Any idea what this could be?  I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing but I can't figure it out.  I'm running Windows 8.  Thanks for any help!

    I wanted to add to this...I did plug in a CF card the other day and that was recognized.  I then tried my external hard drive directly again in a front USB port and it worked for a while (an hour or so).  Then it suddenly was not there anymore as if I'd ejected it even though I didn't.  Tried to put it back in and nothing.  This tells me it may be a hardware problem since it "recognized" it for a bit.  It's very frustrating.

  • I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV?

    I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

  • So I stuck a key into one of the USB ports and then a message came up and it crashed straight away and now it won't turn back on.(the message was to do with the USB port taking to much power when there wasn't anything besides the key) help?

    Please help! My mac is about 6 months old and I was just playing with my keys and stuck it in the USB port and then it crashed and won't turn on, it's not picking up the charger (the little led light isn't on) and pressing the power button does absolutely nothing

    Don't be so surprised, people have stuck worse things in worse places before and it was on purpose

    Reset the SMC first. If this doesn't work, reset PRAM. Move down troubleshoot with links below. First, SMC reset for MBP models 2009 and later:
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Lost the keyboard backlight, use of my USB ports and camera shows as disconnected. How do I fix this?

    Please help.  I'm still a MAC rookie.
    I unplugged my Pedometer from one of the USB ports on my Macbook Pro.  Ever since then, I lost the backlight to my keyboard. I did some troubleshooting on these discussion boards and found a few with similar issues, but most of the discussions were old and the solutions were out of date.  As one of them advised, I checked to see if my Isight Camera was still connected and it wasn't. I also tried plugging a few different things into both USB ports and neither of them worked either. So whatever caused this, it's affecting all 3 of these things. I don't know if my Pedometer is old/bad and it "short-circuited" the USB port and everything else along with it when I unplugged it or if something coincidentally went bad at the same time that I removed it. 
    I read some old answers from the discussion boards where they suggested a Command (R) system recovery reboot.  But I also read that that really doesn't help on newer operating systems. I am on OS X.  Here is my Hardware Overview:
    Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro5,4
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.53 GHz

    I did recently purchase a backup drive and I THINK I previously backed everything up properly. But, I can't even plug that into the USB port now to see if I
    can somehow use that to fix this since the ports aren't working. I have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?  Please!? 
    Thanks in advance!

  • Updated OS X Mavericks and now USB ports and MS Office apps won't work. How do I fix this?

    I updated  my MacBook Pro (mid 2012) to OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and now my USB ports and MS Office apps won't work.  What do I do to fix this?

    What system version were you running before you updated to 10.9.4? Another 10.9.x or something earlier?
    What version of Office? 2004, 2008, or 2011?
    Were you aware that Office 2004 does not run on recent versions of the system?
    When you say your USB ports do not work, on what are you determining that?
    Were you aware that Mavericks does not display external disk volumes by default?
