DevCon unable to enable/disable devices in windows 7
My initial problem is that at the start, the my device is activated by non-functional. If I disable then enable it in Device Manager, it works again. My camera's USB RF remote (remote control, Firefly). I am running Windows 7 (x 64) Home Premium with an i5 processor.
To work around the original problem, I want to run a script using devcon. After getting the correct version of the latest Windows DDK devcon.exe, I can query the device but I can't turn it. I tried a lot of things, but I must be missing something with the use of devcon. Here is the output of devcon...
Status of E:\dev\WinDDK\Tools\devcon\amd64>DevCon ' * VID_0BC7. "
USB\VID_0BC7 & PID_0008\6 & 688A3B8 & 0 & 6
Name: X 10 transceiver Wireless USB (ACPI)
Driver is running.
1 correspondents or the devices found.
Disable the E:\dev\WinDDK\Tools\devcon\amd64>DevCon "* VID_0BC7."
USB\VID_0BC7 & PID_0008\6 & 688A3B8 & 0 & 6: Disable failed
No matching device found.
Does anyone know why devcon does not work? Or do you know another way to toggle the Device Manager devices?
Thank you

How to allow a standard user to enable or disable devices in Device Manager
I wand to greater access to a standard user to enable or disable devices in Device Manager also start stop service permission.
I wand to greater access to a standard user to enable or disable devices in Device Manager also start stop service permission.
You must do this through an agent as follows: create a scheduled task that is running under the account system once every five minutes. If the task detects a semaphore file (which is created by the standard user), and then it run devcon.exe (to toggle a device) or sc.exe (to start/stop a service). To do this successfully requires skills in scripting.

Internet Explorer 11 introduced a number of changes both in the way the browser is identified with remote web servers, and how it treats JavaScript for behavior targets specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the provider of content changes their site to conform to the new approach to development required by the modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these problems by using the compatibility view:

Error installation software device driver for removable devices in Windows Vista x 64
I have Windows Vista x 64 installed on my PC and nVidia Forceware motherboard and graphic cards.
When I plug in any removable drive into my USB 2.0 port, Windows starts the installation of the device driver software and then sees it as an unknown device. The dialog where he asks me if I want to 'locate and install driver software', 'Ask Me later' or 'don't show this message for this device.
I select the recommended option: "locate and install driver software.
I click 'Continue' when Windows asks me permission to continue.
Then, when the execution of the installer of the software in the bottom right of my screen, the installation of driver software for device, it shows "unidentified device failed.
Then another window pops up saying this:
"Found New Hardware - device unknown".
Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.
Kodak
An error occurred during the installation of the device:
The driver for this device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website and check the support section for driver software. »
That's what he does when I'm trying to connect my Kodak Easyshare M550 digital camera. I would go ahead and contact Kodak, but the problem seems to extend to ANY removable device on my computer.
For example, I have a Lexar Flashdrive. When I plug it into my USB 2.0 port, it Windows says the following:
"Windows needs to install driver software for your USB Flash Drive", etc...
'Install the device driver software', 'USB Flash Drive search Windows Update'...
Then a window opens asking me to "insert the disk that came with your USB key. Problem is that no driver disk not supplied with the hardware that Windows Vista is supposed to come with the drivers. I know this because the camera and usb flash drive worked very well until I reinstalled Windows Vista on my new hard drive (new installation, because my old hard drive crashed) and I've NEVER had to install device drivers for Windows to recognize it as a removable drive and operate automatically.
Also, I installed Daemon Tools Lite and I had to manually "Update" the device driver to point to the "Windows\INF" folder in my hard drive, after copying the cdrom files needed for the specific subfolders for windows to let the program assign a drive letter for the drive virtual it creates.
I think that perhaps not all device drivers have been installed when I installed Windows Vista, this time. If that's the problem, I don't know how that could happen, nor how to fix it, but I really prefer to find a way to solve this problem without reinstalling Windows Vista again. I don't mind not manually install the drivers as long as someone can show me what files to copy and where to find them on the Windows Vista disk that I bought at Microsoft. I KNOW that Windows HAS come with these drivers.
If anyone knows how I can fix this, please tell me, because it's ridiculous to not be able to use any removable device readers (except for the use of all Flash drives). Thanks in advance.
I know it can be frustrating to solve problems.

First of all you do not state if you tried to see if there was a setting in bios disabled USB ports during the startup. Or how the bios was set to install devices automatically. If you check your manual site or the motherboard manufacturer
It will tell you which key to press. And where your USB ports are on or off. Some systems do not have to turn on or off.

(C) what version where do you use? SP1? or gold?
(D) USB hubs may cause problems just be hubs. Power connected?
(E) and of course if it is a case check connection in the right port. Return panel slide? plugged into port back?

Earlier today, I was a game on my Xbox 360 and decided I want to play music in the background, using the guide of 360.
I went to "Select Music", searched my PC in the devices menu, and it does not appear. This has happened before, I just figured out my PC was in place. I went to the 360 Dashboard and looked back to the server. He has not yet shown upward.
I went to Windows Media Player on the PC that I share the media selected in the dropdown under library and went to share multimedia files. (Here's where it gets confusing...)
He gave me a message saying "sharing multimedia files has been disabled because a Windows setting required or a component has been changed." I hit very well, and I went back to the sharing of multimedia files. Now, I had the option to check the box "share my media". I checked, hit OK, made sure everything was good to go. The unit has not yet appear on the dashboard. I went back to the sharing of multimedia files. To my surprise, I received always «sharing multimedia files has been disabled...» »
This is the part of the confusion: if I turn on media sharing, Windows it cuts back.
I tried all the solutions online that I could find, which includes deleting the files in the Windows Media AppData\Microsoft folder. Register a dll to the administrator. Ensuring that you have the "Windows Media" folder. All take very well.
Basically I narrowed down it to: nothing works.
Each person could fix their problem by using the solutions proposed in other posts on other forums/blogs. Mine is recurring. In addition, my media is on a separate internal hard drive, which I added to the Windows Media Player files to add multimedia elements. I went and deleted from here. I still have the problem of sharing.
All said Microsoft is to restore your computer to a previous state. It's not really useful. I don't want to go just restore. I want to fix it where. In addition: restoration would not help, I don't know how long this problem exists, but I have not known about it.
-Very well, after a fresh reformat the hard drive and re-installing Windows, I finally reduced the problem.
I have not had ANY problems with the computer... Until I installed my Adobe CS5 Master Collection again.
It turns out that the part of the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended software called Adobe Presenter 7 causes the sharing to go haywire.
I deleted Adobe Presenter 7, and just like that, sharing has increased again.
In addition, Adobe Acrobat 9 was causing my sidebar to go haywire, so I advanced and which takes off as well.
Have not had a problem since.
