An additional USB icon on taskabr

Hi all

I have an additional USB icon on my system tray in Windows 7. I have the vmware installed on this machine. The USB icon shows my HARD disk drives!
I think it appeared when I uninstalled app Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST). I uninstalled because I do not think that TSRI does nothing useful on my desktop PC.
Now to get rid of this extra icon I have to reinstall that TSRI! What will actually in my PC please?

It is a problem that occurs if lack you the appropriate drivers for your controller for internal hard drive.  It allows Windows think that these "removable" readers, as a USB drives, even if they are not. More details here.

As this discussion says the best thing you can do is perhaps make sure that you have the chipsets and drivers from the manufacturer of your system up-to-date.

But you can also remove the icon with a change in the registry as shown here.  There is also a lot more information online here as well on how to remove it.

    Thank you for your kind reply.

    I just discovered by chance that depends on the cable that I use.

    Cables with mini microphone adapter are ok for the load, but not to mount the phone in your file system.

    Step 2 - upgrade of the network manager

    #Right click the icon of your management network at the top right and select "about". If it is less than 0.7 (such as mine) upgrade is necessary.

    #upgrade to the network manager > = 0.7
    > sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

  • Deviice USB not recognized. Help, please.

    So I have this Freecom 500 GB Portable external Hardrive and I have used it for several months now. It worked fine on my laptop and other computers, I'll until recently, when I plug it says: ' "USB device not recognized.". I click on the USB icon and it said: "one of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not it." he has never done this before. In addition, there was a 'recommendation' which suggests I 'try to re-connect. If Windows does still not it, replace the device. " So I tried and tried (reconnection) but it's the same thing. USB NOT RECOGNIZED. I tried on the laptop of others and computers and the same thing happened. I have important documents stored on this hard drive... I don't think that the computer is at fault, rather my hardrive, but I'm not sure. What do you think? And are there ways I could solve this problem?

    Hi Elysem,

    As you have checked the hard disk on other computers and it gives the same error message that means there is a problem with the hard drive so I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the hard drive to get help.

  • Satellite Pro m USB devices connection problems

    Hello visitors and insiders.

    can someone help me, please? - or are the causes of the problems of programmed BIOS is not perfect?

    I put on the USB Ports (I tried all 3 Ports) after correct installation of the most recent drivers for devices and the BIOS and chipset.
    I tried MAGIX encoder by USB and PINNACLE for USB encoder - both signal-request-problems and the two could not shut down the system after connecting with USB and close with her current for USB device.

    I tried this on different WinXP installiations (multiboot) - but on all systems even.

    The same reaction has been, as I have connected a special CUSHION cooler for laptop with additional USB Ports.
    The CUSHION cooled - but the USB Ports do not work for all devices (devices I am familiar with the)
    Ports of origin of the laptop, has failed to TRIM, too). (worked directly devices: mouse, webcam, keyboard, drive hard usb)

    What should do? .. If anyone know Somethin ' help... I will be very happy.

    Thank you very much!!! (Sorry for my English is not perfect)

  • Portege 3010 ct: Question about drivers USB under W2k

    Hello

    Usually it of not necessary to install the additional USB drivers for W2k or WinXP.
    I read on some sites that sometimes, the service pack update will solve driver problems. You should check if you have installed all SP for W2k.

    I also found this site:

    Hello

    As far as I know that 1 Code means that the USB driver is not installed or not enabled. In addition, USB 2.0 is already enabled on this device. You don't need to do any upgrade. In my opinion, you should check the settings of the BIOS USB. In addition, you should try to remove the device from Device Manager.
    After that restart of the operating system should recognize the USB interface.
