How to disable certain USB ports in a machine of windows 7
On the 4 USB ports on my PC, I need to block all ports except one. The PC runs on windows 7 Professional - 64-bit. How can I do this by tweak Windows registry.
You can change the capacity of the ports in your BIOS settings, if you want to enable or disable. If this is the case, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your device to change.

How to disable the USB port and change DVD drive to read-only?
I have upgraded my Vista Home Premium from window to window 7 Ultimatum. I tried to disable the USB port and and change the configuration of DVD room to read only via the bios, but I wasn't able to do. The bios always the same, whether it was when I had vista.
I wonder if the operating system upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 ultimate trigger necessarily upgrading the bios in order to take full advantage of the Windows 7?
Thank you
* original title - upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 ultimate necessarily triggers upgrading the bios in order to take full advantage of window 7? *
rThen your question isn't specific to Windows 7, you must consult the manufacturer. You should be able to disable the USB via the BIOS ports. Also, why do you want to set the optical drive as read only? If it is shared? If so, the advanced sharing disk properties, from there, you can set permissions on the drive.

HP K5H28AA #ABL: accidentally disable all usb port
Looking to change the settings in my BIOS I accidentally disable all USB ports. Now I can't use the keyboard and mouse. I want to know if there is a way to reset to the factory settings, the computer from the motherboard
Hello
Before you try this, unplug the devices all attached, turn off the PC and remove the power plug.
There should be a jumper on the Board that you can use to remove the settings current CMOS, located just above the cmos battery - move the jumper to the clear position for 30 seconds and then bring him back - see the image at the link below.

How to disable certain fields in the form of a calculation with a checkbox for the fields.
How to disable certain fields in the form of a calculation with a checkbox for the fields.
In Canada, we have taxes
I create a form that allows them to calculate a total
I need to be able to turn off all of those taxes to participate in the calculation and to their field visible should be 0
I was thinking about using a check box (when the checkbox is enabled (Yes) the tax is calculated, unchecked (Off) the tax is not calculated and visible field should show 0 or anything...)
I really need help on this one, I am a complete newbie...
Note that the second tax is calculated on the sum of what the first tax Add (tax first is pan-Canadian tax (all provinces).
The second tax is never only use (Quebec only (in addition to one Canadian)
Sometimes to sell outside Canada - no tax at all is calculated...
What should I do?
Yes, it's just the JS...

USB ports do not work in Windows 7
Where my Windows 7 played very well a few weeks ago now, I can't access the USB ports. With a flashdrive in the port, Device Manager it says: 'a driver (service) for this device has been disabled. Another driver can provide this functionality. (Code 32) ». I uninstalled all programs I had installed in the last 2 weeks so far. Currently, the two pilots showing with a flash drive in the USB port are: disk.sys and partmgr.sys. Could someone guide me how to activate the USB port, I can use a USB Flash drive or even external hard drive USB? Thank you
You are welcome. Glad to see that worked.

How do disable you the two USB ports on the front of a Dell Inspiron 3647? Or better yet, the password protect them?
The problem with the software approaches, either change the registry or by using an application like IntelliAdmin, is they disable all the USB storage for all users. If you won't be able to connect a USB or USB either. Note: If you use them, only the key and encrypted USB drives USB encrypted is HIPAA compliant.
You will also need a password protected administrator account and only this account has the right to change the registry or re - run IntelliAdmin to reactivate the USB access.
The Manual shows two connectors on the motherboard to the front USB ports. If you unplug the cables of these two connectors (be sure to store out of the way or cover with the CHATTERTON, so they can't communicate with the motherboard, case, or any other component), you can physically turn off the two front USB ports.
BUT, BUT... I do not know if that generates an error message when the PC starts, or if the PC starts even when these two cables are disconnected. May be worth a try...
My other thought is to put the PC in a cupboard locked (with adequate ventilation) and only personnel are the key.
Since it is a HIPAA question, you may not be the first to meet, then maybe you can find acceptable solutions to the HiPAAJournal.com or related resources.

So I do not know what is not "where it will honestly, but put there just to try to help someone else who has struggled with this as long as I did it...» I ended up having my two USB ports on the left side (turned out to be my 3.0 ports) working again when they recognize nothing. I could use the USB 2 on right 2.0 ports, but the transfer rate was terrible.
My answer on another question where someone had a similar problem... good luck!
'Hi. '
Not sure if this will help, but I had the same problem, the two ports on the left did not work on my Dv7. All this time I thought that the USB on the right were my 3.0 ports so I thought that would be nice, but it's been over a year that I initially had this problem and made a bunch of maintenance of the system meant that I would look through it again. In any case, I went to the Device Manager through the computer management tool. I know that you can go straight to the Device Manager, but just give you exactly how I did it. You can search just to start computer management.
So I chose Device Manager in the menu on the left side and it looked like ordinary Device Manager. Went down to Universal Serial bus controllers... at this stage, I watched the action menu on the right and select more actions, opinions and you click Show hidden devices. After that I went through my USB controllers one by one as I had done many times before and checked them, tried the update of drivers, etc... Under the USB controllers Section, I noticed something like xHCI Host controller of compliance Test... I right click it and went into its details, I tried the driver updated and installed the new driver. 2 new USB controllers immediately arises: Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller and root hub.
Switched on a test drive from the right thumb to the left and the computer instantly recognized and installed the driver for the stick.
And that was all... hope it helps even if this is later. "

How can I Troubleshoot USB PORT of my laptop (Acer Aspire E1-421)
Since I installed my Windows 7 Ultimate 36 bit fresh after a big Crash and BSOD and frost took place
My laptop has often experience problems...
It has been 2 months since my OS re-installing
I don't know why this is happening...
My USB Ports, one is USB 2 (blue) and the other 2 is USB 1 (Silver)
Cannot read any USB key, connectors or no matter what USB devices connected
Well maybe im that I'm wrong about the word 'impossible to read.
because when I PLUG it, it still appears on device and printers,
and Device Manager...
Yes, it was red by Ports but is not recognizing that I think...
One thing I think is one of the problem is...
As you can see I can not this devices/drivers because when I do it shows...
Ive also tried to use the Scan for hardware changes, but that's what always happens...
And it's always...
I appreciate really all help and step by step answers someone will answer.
Thank you very much...
Almost certainly yes a reload will sort it but next time avoid the utility 'finder pilot', they are a pain because too often they go wrong and I speak from personal experience.
Stick with drivers Acer, there is no chipset graphics drivers followed by Audio 1 and restart, then next LAN. Let the system do its updates and check the Device Manager to each step.
The SMBus is a little strange because it's undoubtedly part of the chipset, but Acer don't list any as being necessary.

I had problems with getting my iPod classic 6th generation to be recognized by my computer windows 7. It works very well but all of a sudden stopped working. When I connect the iPod, it says on the product than its 'connected' and is in charge, but does not appear on "my computer" or on iTunes. Now, I supposed that it was a problem with my apple product, but after putting in the store and plug both Mac and PCs, this worked fine, its clear that it is actually a problem with my specific PC.
All software are up to date and I tried stop and start the unit. (Control Panel > administrative tools > services > device mobile apple). The PC also recognizes the iPod randomly once in a while and I managed to restore the iPod to factory settings to ensure that there is no problem with the device itself.As stated earlier that the iPod is not visible in 'my computer', but when "devices and printers", there are two elements relating to the iPod, appearing almost as if it's two separate devices. the first is "apple ipod usb device" on the devices section and "Apple mobile device USB driver" in the section not specified. When I click the first device it freezes the computer for awhile.
I tried to move the ipod to different USB ports that make no difference. However, when I put in a pen memory USB (TDK 4 GB), it initially also put it in unspecified, but with a yellow warning down logo on the left and when I moved my wireless usb key for my keyboard, it didn't work initially. These two seem to have resolved themselves in Device Manager...In my view, there is a problem with my usb ports grateful drivers. Any idea what I need to do?
Hello
Thanks to community Microsoft can help you with your concern for Windows!
You are facing problems with the USB ports on the computer.
Method 1:
Run the troubleshooter of material and check what is happening.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter
Method 2:
As all devices have same also have USB device associated drivers. Appropriate sometimes drivers not detected after initial installation so reinstalling the drivers can fix the problems.
You can check after uninstalling and reinstalling USB drivers if you are able to connect. You can disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:
1. click on start and then click Control Panel.
2. click on system and Maintenance, click System, and then click Device Manager.
Note: If Control Panel is in Classic view, double-click System and then click on Device Manager.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
3. in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right click on the controller host, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
Check that if at all, there is an exclamation point on the pilot, it suggests problems with the installed driver.
4. Repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.
Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.
Method 3:
You can update the driver from chipset from the web site of the manufacturer and then uninstall and reinstall the device driver updated from the web site of the manufacturer.
