Cannot use the Exteranl USB with Windows 7 floppy drive

I have a removable disk drive 3.5 inch USB connected to my computer running Windows 7.  When I plugged it there was the usual beep that had plugged in an external drive and only came a message that the drivers were installed correctly and the drive is ready for use.  However:

a. the player is not visible in Explorer, but appears in the Disk Manager and control panel (material & sound-devices and printers).  It "works" according to Disk Manager.

b. when I insert a floppy disk, nothing does not appear in the Explorer

c. I tried without success drive letter assignment (miss me something here, I think and need for a better prescription to follow)

I saw a post elsewhere on the "group policy objectives" but got lost in the talk of technology and could not get something resembling the description in the post.

Suggestions, please, which will help to get the job of the thing.

Hello

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

With the description, I understand that you can not use the floppy drive external USB on your Windows 7 computer.

I would be grateful if you could help me with more information to better understand the problem and a solution:

1. have you tried another USB port using the USB floppy? If this isn't the case, I suggest you try to use it in another port.

2 have you tried to use the USB port on a different computer/machine? If not, try to use it in another computer.

This problem can occur because of incorrect settings. In order to solve the problem, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if this is useful:

Method 1 : Troubleshooting hardware and peripheral

Integrated the hardware and devices troubleshooter can automatically detect and fix most of the incorrect settings and errors that could cause problems with the equipment. I suggest you run the troubleshooter to check if there is no problem with the graphics card. See albums as follows:

1. open Control Panel

2. click Troubleshooting and select the option to display all on the left pane.

3. click Troubleshooting of hardware and devices and follow the prompts.

Try Method 2, if the problem persists

Method 2 : Install the drivers in Compatibility Mode

I suggest that you try to download the drivers from floppy drive designed for Windows XP or Vista and then install it in compatibility mode.

  • Cannot use the system update with WIndows 7 SP 1 for UN-installing IE11 - impossible to re - install IE11!

    I have the day together system prompt before downloading and installing. When I had the time of who is running the last invite nothing would install and ' check for updates ' stopped working. The two move to a phase of 'work' but is not progressing.

    Search through this forum, I came to management may be incorrect which previously uninstall IE 11 must be the origin of the problem (System Troubleshooting update does not provide a solution) but when I download and try to re - install manually, it says that IE 11 cannot be installed as a more up-to-date version is already installed.

    He's not... Although a folder "internet explore" is always present; the ieinstal.exe is non-responsive (even when run as administrator) and I can't delete the folder because:

    "You need permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this file.

    I don't have a point system before uninstalling IE 11 of restoration and we tried disabling my AV during execution of update of the system, for the moment I'll have to find and manually install the security updates, which is a tedious exercise.

    Someone has encountered this problem, and more importantly have a solution?

    My apologies if I missed the answer elsewhere and thank you in advance for any help.

    IE is not uninstalled or reinstalled unless you have a version of Windows N/K/KN, these have been sold in Europe and Korea.  It is a component of Windows Basic.

    Check your edition of Windows in the Control Panel, System.  There K/N/KN after the name of the [Home premium etc] edition?

    If this is not the case then you have a standard version and you can unload or reload IE to

    Control Panel,

    View by - small icons

    Programs & features,

    Turn on or off Windows features

    Set / uncheck the box next to Internet Explore [for reload / unload],.

    Ok

    Ok

    It will make you then restart the computer for the change to take effect.

    How did you "Uninstall" IE?  It is possible that this Act has damaged the system.

  • Cannot use the Micro-USB port on the coming Pro 11?

    Hello

    Can I use the micro-USB port to a mouse or other device (with Dell micro-USB to USB dongle for tablets)?

    Bought one as advertised and does not work...

    Thank you

    Hey guys, it seems that there is still much confusion over the functions of the port mictousb on the place of the 11 sessions pro.

    Anyone know if it is possible to use it for anything other than recharging? An OTG cable connected I have here doen't work on my 7130, but on ebay, some sellers here in Germany offer small hubs with OTG funcion specially for this model:

    http://www.eBay.de/ITM/kwmobile-3In1-micro-USB-hub-adapter-fur-Dell-venue-11-Pro-Schwarz-Verteiler-Kit-/361194175623

    Does anyone know for sure who is the truth?

    EDIT: also, as the microusb port has the logo of bolt on I guess this is the port used for the powershare function (if this feature is enabled in the BIOS). Does this mean I have to buy a microusb to microusb cable to recharge my mobile hollow 11 meeting places powershare function?

  • Cannot use the NOR-IMAQdx with 3 USB camera driver

    I have a system WIN7 64-bit I would use with two USB 3 Vision cameras (both are 24UJ003 from The Imaging Source DFK), which works very well with the software IC software. The camera can be opened with IC software but will be visible only with a cadence of 1fps, any size I put it.

    I can open them able and Automation Explorer, but they do not appear under NOR-IMAQdx in the tree.  When I click on the software in MAX tree below, NOR-IMAQdx revealed as being installed (14.5). The camera (and OR) instructions say change the camera driver to that found in C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\NI - IMAQdx\Staging\NI USB3 Vision, but my driver is located in C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\NI - IMAQdx\Staging\NI USB3 Vision.

    Attempts to install the driver displays the following message is displayed:

    "The folder you specified contains a compatible software driver for your device.  If the folder contains a driver, make sure that it is designed to work with Windows for x 64 systems".

    This makes it sound like the driver is in the wrong place or it does not for a 64 bit OS.  Any advice on how to switch them TIS drivers to drivers OR-IMAQdx and also how increase the pace of the second camera would be very much appreciated.

    I tried to connect the cameras individually, and they both have the same performance as when they are connected together (we have good pace, and the other has only 1 fps).

    Are you sure that the camera is Vision compatible USB3? Nothing that I do not see in the marketing material says it is compatible. Is it possible you need a firmware update to make it compatible?

    The installer put IMAQdx driver in the space provided for an x 64 system and he always puts the number of correct bits of the driver down to the system that you have installed. My hunch is that the camera is not to expose a USB3 Vision interface for the driver to bind.

  • Cannot use the files copied from Windows 8/7/Vista in windows XP.

    Always there are people who use Windows Xp, the problem is that when I copy the files in my USB and use it in my friends house, then Windows XP said 'pen drive not formatted ".

    Always there are people who use Windows Xp, the problem is that when I copy the files in my USB and use it in my friends house, then Windows XP said 'pen drive not formatted ".

    How is the "pen drive" formatted - with what the specific OS file system?
     
    This is more likely to be a file system - do not operating system (although related, not as much as you might think)-problem.  Another possibility is a problem hardware or bad driver on the machine Windows XP itself.  It could also be, although rare, an incompatible 'USB key '.
     
    What is the 'pen drive' is formatted with the file system is essentially - the first question to ask.  Then - if I were you - I everything on the 'pen drive' copy on a computer which can be read - if committed to the machine more common denominator (in this case the Windows XP machine) you will use and FORMAT this 'pen drive' using this machine.  One of the few possible things will happen no doubt...

    (1) you'll find you format it with a version of NTFS that will work in all areas - all the machines that you can use with Windows XP or more on them.  Then this problem will disappear.

    (2) you will find there * is * something wrong with the Windows XP specific in question and this machine is not a problem easily solved this and your "pen drive" probably will work on someone elses machine Windows XP very well as it existed before.

    (3) you will end up with a FAT32 formatted "pen drive" that should work on most any system - as long as you don't need to transfer * really * large individual files.

  • Cannot use the mouse after installing windows 7

    Original title: mouse W7 disorders linux Instalation

    Hello

    so I had linux on my computer, but now I myself bought a treat - W7 Home premium 64-bit. So I had wiped the hard disks and clean. Everything worked before (on linux), but while I was installing W7 something must have gone wrong - I couldn t move the mouse , from the moment of the instalation was started - so I thought maybe it s a few pilot missing, but now (after completing the instalation) I ve tried four or five mouse (usb, ps2, usb wireless), but none of them work. I did remember to restart with the mouse still connected. I also tried a different usb port, restart the pc and not even a simple memory card is able to load... and then I thought to try the live CD (it was linux yet) and the mouse works - so tell me, where could be the problem? It seems that there is something wrong with the windows software, but I Don t have an idea what is...

    the keyboard works very well (thankfully), that the screen resolution is still correct ;)

    thx for any helpful answer :)

    Rami

    Hi again once, thank you so :)

    After confirming that it s probably related to drivers, I found a driver CD for my motherboard (I built the computer at home with parts) and learned how to use "mouse keys" and managed to install a few drivers - after restarting the pc, (after some time) everything went very well-> the PC works great now.

    The greatest difficulty before was that I was luckily able to use the "mouse keys" and he kept breaking the feet,, I thought that it s associated with the mouse, but it was just my incompetence :D (I forgot to keep alt + shift)

    Thank you so much, again :)

  • Cannot activate the 3rd computer with Windows 7 Family pack

    I have three computers and all were running licensed copied of Vista. I bought the "Family Pack" upgrade to Windows 7. I have implemented customized installs on all machines - no problem. Activate the first two online perfectly. The third party will not activate so I used the method of the phone. The automated waiting requires the 9 key series of 6 figures and said so I have to answer the questions. The first question is "how many computers have you installed this license on? The answers will take you to a report that says: "we're sorry, but you do not meet the requirements of this license." I am invited to stay online to get help and the system is then said "we cannot help you at this time, please call back."

    I tried 12 times over a period of three days - all times of day and night. Same result. I don't know of any way around that. I know that I have 30 days to activate, but I don't want to wait.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Try to say 2 when asked how many computers have you installed license on.  Maybe it's that this license is not installed until after you enable.  Just a thought.

  • Problem using the serial port with windows 7

    Hello

    I have a modem of SIM cards (used to update remote controller of the electronic gate) that connects to my computer via the serieal port (COM1).

    The modem comes with its own piece of software that worked fine on my old computer with windows 7 (I had a similar problem, but then I just need to update the driver).

    I now have a new computer and I am unable to connect using the modem (I think I'm using the latest drivers for the serial port).

    Is it possible that I need an older version? If so, how can I get a?

    My motherboard is a GIGABYTE H81M-D2V.

    Any ideas?

    Hi Avi,

    Thank you for the update on the issue.

    The UART, or Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter, is a characteristic of your microcontroller useful to connect serial data (text, numbers, etc.) to your PC. The unit switches incoming parallel information (in the microcontroller/PC) to series data that can be sent over a communication line.

    According to the description you provided it seems that your modem isn't connecting with your Windows 7 computer, then I would contact Duetech Berès your modem manufacturer, so that they provide you with the steps to set it up.

    Get back to us after contacting them and please get back to us with your question was last updated.

  • Cannot use the feature set in windows media player for Onkyo TX - NR609 Receiver Media

    Original title: Onkyo TX - NR609 Receiver Media

    Hi all

    I have the Onkyo TX-NR609 and it works great except for streaming music from windows media player. When I click on the 'play to' it will show the name of the amplifier and model number which I click on and then it opens the player where it will then tell me that "an error has occurred on the device" and then she'll tell me under the song that tries to open that "the device cannot be controlled."

    I have no idea what could be the cause and that it is a little frustrating is an understatement, onkyo iphone app works fine and I am able to listen to different radio stations as well as I have access to my windows media player via dlna library but it is a bit tedious so I don't tend to use it as well.

    Anyone had similar problems? If so I would appreciate any help you could offer, I was hoping it would be more directly towards the front and then it and exchanging the receiver for one with apple airplay but it brings another problem of having to transfer music between laptop-itunes-iphone/ipad then invert to remove the music and then do the same bloody back and forth. Apple had to do complicated things don't have.

    I am using windows 7 32 bit

  • Cannot use the feature set in windows media player for Onkyo TX - NR509 Receiver Media

    I have the Onkyo TX-NR509 and everything works fine except for streaming music from windows media player. (I can sink my iPhone to the receiver box and can even navigate to my music box cylinder head and all the Games very well).

    When I click with the right button on a song and select "play to" and then select the amplifier box "play to" appears and after a while an error message appears "cannot retrieve information about the UPnP Server media."

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7 (Windows7 64-bit)

    I made a few simple troubleshooting;

    1. under Network TX-NR509 shows as a support device and I installed the drivers.

    2. I checked the options of streaming media and my receiver is set to "allowed".

    3. in WMP, I did of course "allow the remote control of my player" and "automatically allow devices to read my media" are both checked

    4 reboot the router & mobile.

    I have no idea what could be the cause and to say it's frustrating is an understatement.

    I'd appreciate any help you could offer.
