USB Device Problems? Check for Windows Updates
There are many reasons for USB device problems. One of the first things you should do is check for Windows Updates. Run Windows update while your USB device is connected and powered on. (That way, Windows includes any hardware updates specific to detected devices) If you are running XP
If you're running Vista, it's best if you are running Vista SP2 (i.e. the latest service pack releases) Windows Hotfix and other release info This is not a complete list of USB / related hotfixes but here's a number of hotfixes you can review and assure you have installed in your system and/or see if it sounds like your problem XP Last edited by LookinAround; 07-22-2009 at 03:36 PM.. |
