Hello Everybody,
I am in the same deep trouble as many others: Windows 7. Some pendrives are recognized and work fine on each and every USB ports of my Dell Latitude 6410. However, some other pendrives and my Samsung camera do not work an any of my 4 USB ports. First they appear and disappear, and reappear, and so on in a cycle by themselves automatically in rapid succession.
The very same pendrives and the camera do work fine on my other Dell Latitude 6400 machine under Windows XP. Also those that work on Win7, work on WinXP.
I deleted my drives from the device manager, and got restored upon bootup. No avail. Then I run the DriveCleanup.exe
with the same eventual outcome: no avail.
I know one thing for sure: if I save my data, and reinstall Win7 from scratch (destroying the past,) the USB misery will go away, as it did for a friend of mine. However, it is a major undertaking for me, reinstalling everything, and doing the data restore. The guilty party is that Win7 by Microsoft.
Is there a solution???
(For the time being I use my XP machine, but...)
