How can I find/add a USB port on my laptop which has disappeared?

I have three ports, but only two appear in Device Manager, and the third does not.

Sounds like the port suffered physical damage, if you had a driver problem, nothing would work. You can try to start/devices and printers/add a device, but I don't think it will help.

The only choices are to purchase a USB hub or send the laptop for repair.

  • How can I password protect my USB port?

    Hello

    I use Windows XP SP 2. I want the password protect my USB port so that whenever I plug in a device, like USB flash drive, modem, USB etc key, you are prompted for the password which will protect my computer against unauthorized individuals to use my USB port and helping to prevent the intrusion of virus. How can I put the password in my USB port? This is not possible in Service Pack 2, then I'm ready to upgrade to Service Pack 3. Thank you.

    If you want to protect your USB with password if you have lost your pen drive it contains the password, then you can use bitlocker to go. But for USB itself and also to protect the material you may have a look at:

  • How can I determine my current USB ports on Windowx XP (1.1 or 2.0) size?

    I want to buy a flash drive, and I would like to know what size my USB ports.

    It is not the size, but the speed.  If you buy a USB 2.0 flash drive, it will work on USB 1.1 or USB 2.0.

    If you only have USB 1.1 ports, you will get a warning when you plug the flash drive that "this device might work more quickly if connected to a USB 2.0 port.

    To determine what you

    • Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
    • Click on the + to the left of the Universal Serial Bus Controllers (it's at the bottom of the list)
    • You will see one or more lines containing the words 'Host Controller'.  If neither of these lines has the words "Enhanced Host Controller", then you have at least some USB 2.0 ports.  If none of the host controllers is "strengthened", then they are all USB 1.1
    • Some older computers have a mix of USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports.  If you see 'Enhanced Host Controller' in the list in Device Manager, but you get the warning message when you connect a USB 2.0 device, try another port.  In particular, if you first tried a port on the front of the computer, try one in the back instead (or vice versa).

    How can I find a missing file for microsoft office 2010 which has been installed on the pc when I bought it. the file is: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OEMOffice14\0Starter\en-US\WelcomeDocument.dotx

    Hi starr456,

    This is something tricky, simply because the Starter is not available anywhere to download (it's the OPK only), and it is not available to resettle them in the HP Recovery Manager. After researching this for awhile, it seems to me that your only option to get Starter upward and the execution is to perform a recovery of the HP System. This restores all of the original software, including programs that are not available to resettle them in the Recovery Manager. He is also the 'nuclear option' and will completely erase everything on your computer. You will need to back up all personal files that you do not want to lose.

    If you're desperate for Office Starter, you can use this recovery method. But if you're open to exploring other alternatives, you might want to try a freeware productivity suite (like OpenOffice, for example).

    Here is a link to the instructions for performing a HP system recovery for Windows 7. If you have a different version of Windows, let me know and I'll post a different link.
