all of a sudden... my computer does not see the things I plug into the usb ports on the front of the computer...?

If I shut down the computer and plug... he sees the thing then turned back...
I can not just plug in while the computer is turned on... once again he has used to do this just as well... for some reason any, he sees things now.
any thoughts?

Hi KK Waddell.

Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you face the issue with the USB port does not work when you embedded on the front of the computer.

Before you start the troubleshooting steps, I need the information required.

1 did you changes to the computer?

2 did you receive an error message?

I suggest you to check with the other USB port.

I suggest you to see the links and check.

USB port may stop working after you remove or insert a USB device

  • All of a sudden my laptop does not recognize the cd/dvd drive.

    Just today my cd/dvd drive is not recognized. My laptop is HP Pavilion dv6244us, Vista Home Premium software. The cd/dvd drive is only a factory with LightScribe. In Device Manager there is a yellow! next to the name. When I double click on it, it says what follows in the device status area: "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) "I'd appreciate any help you can give.

    Thank you

    Hi Chris,

    First, try the automated Microsoft fixit at the link below.

    Vista

    Check if the drive works now.

    If it still does not work, click on the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.

    sfc/scannow                (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)

    Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.

    Then, click on the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.

    Kind regards

  • Portege A600-138 with Vista 32 bit does not see the computers in the Group Win XP network

    Hello

    My Toshiba Portege A600-138 with Vista Business 32 does not see the computers in the workgroup.
    In our office, the computers are all equipped with Windows XP.

    When I connect my laptop to the Local network, I don't see any neighboring computers in Network Explorer.
    I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes to talk to a specialist Service of Support from Microsoft, and the only way to have access to local machines, we found it had to enter the IP of the computer directly into the computer browser path field.

    I hope you understand what I mean.

    The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
    He meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.
    He said that probably the sellers - in my particular case Toshiba - supplied their notebooks with VIsta oem images that were somehow corrupt.

    Does anyone have an idea of the cause of this problem?

    > The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
    > It meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.

    That's nonsense for me
    The Vista OS preinstalled Toshiba which is same BONE as full Vista disc from Microsoft.
    There is only one difference; Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba and pilots tools and drivers and tools are part of the Toshiba recovery image that contains Vista, driver and tools

    You will find information that a problem has to do with the new Windows Vista network map.
    Windows Vista uses a new Protocol (Link Layer Topology Discovery).
    LLTD is integrated with Windows Vista, this is why they appear correctly in the network map.
    But the problem is that LLTD is not integrated with Windows XP, which is why they do not appear correctly.

    But you can fix the problem by downloading and installing the layer topology discovery responder.
    Install it and your PC Windows XP will appear on the network map.

  • Sansa clip + does not see the audio books I have loaded

    I got my Sansa Clip MP3 player + for two years and it works very well, so far.  I only use it for audio books.  Recently, I reformatted the player and loaded new books in.  When I went to read, the audio books folder was empty.  I have connected the player to the computer again, and the books were in the audio books folder, where I had loaded.

    I've updated the firmware to the V01.02.16A Version, and there was no change.  I tried to reset by pressing the start button. No change.

    Memory has 3750 MB with 3135 free, indicating that there are books in memory, but the player does not see the.  What is going on?

    That's all!  I checked the format of audio files.  It is the AAFC, with suffix .m4a.

    The Sansa manual says:

    "The Sansa® MP3 Player will support MP3, WAV, WMA, secure WMA, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis and audiobook formats.  I guess that AAC is not one of the formats that they support.  So I have to convert .m4a to .mp3.  I guess there are a lot of tools to do it.  Any suggestions about which one is the best?

    Thanks a lot for this revelation.

  • Version 38.0.1 does not see the passwords stored in previous versions

    Version 38.0.1 does not see the previously saved passwords, and urged it to re - enter and save the password. After revert you to the version saved 31.7.0 pass back too. We have more than hundreds of copies of the program and all cached passwords, users do not even know what their password. This failure is a serious problem.

    Problem solved. Probably the file has been corrupted signons3.txt. I deleted the file, and the new passwords are kept. After this version of the software update and new version I've seen passwords, create a logins.json file and now everything is fine. On all other computers in the company such a problem does not arise.

    Dennis, as usual, is correct.  Please check if you have installed NI-VISA.  There is an article in the knowledge base on the way in which com ports are not in MAX unless NI-VISA is installed.  The link to this article is below.

  • After you install a second WD 1 TB my book drive, Windows Explorer does not see the new drive.

    Original title: Signature Collision?

    I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

    Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

    Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

    I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

    Can anyone help?
    Thank you

  • Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the Satellite A200

    Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the A200.
    How to install it?

    S strange Windows 8 should already contain the HARD drive controller driver to recognize the HARD drive during installation.
    The HARD drive is visible in the BIOS?

    Do you use the original disc from Microsoft of Windows 8?

    Have a lenovo t60 disk opportunity was wiped out when trying to install XP Pro, I get message windows does not see the hard drive, but he sees the laptop.

    If its SATA you need SATA drivers to install. Since the XP CD doesn't have the SATA drivers on it

    Unless you disable the AHCI in the BIOS. Or their wake.

    Or get the SATA drivers. Check out them on diskette, press F6 during installation and then add them.
