I am running Vista Business SP2 and my machine don't allow / recognizes any device that I attached via the USB port such as card readers digital camera, IPOD, etc.

These devices appear in Device Manager under "other devices" and I am invited to the drivers that I don't have to install. Microsoft fix it detects that there is a problem but does give some answers. I checked with device manufacturers and there is no driver available for download (supposed to be plug-and-play). This seems to be a common problem... What is the answer?

Canon has attempted to address the problem and they came to the conclusion that it is a Vista operating system problem. I've seen several postings of similar problems - is there a solution?

  • Satellite L50-C-215: failure to install Win7 via the USB port, pb and toshiba.bg bug ' workshop

    Satellite L50-c-215 is a laptop sold without optical drive or OS.

    We bought it today.


    Questions:

    -We were told "it is compatible with windows 7", but what a salesman said, everything can be downloaded from the Web from Toshiba site
    -While watching the Web from Toshiba site, a link says 'no system operating inside'. Link is corrupt
    -2 "official" companies are listed for the Bulgarian Web from Toshiba site are wrong: nobody told on the phone that they are not official support from Toshiba


    Technical questions:

    -J' tried to put several Windows 7 ISO on a USB key, using the official Microsoft tool and Rufus, but I got error that says "CD/DVD Driver is missing."
    -In some forums, it is said that test the spirit of the thing that a USB 2.0 can solve if USB 3.0 will fail. Each USB failed.

    Sales question:

    -Although the European commercial law says people have a little more time to restore a non-working product and be reimbursed, when we returned to the computer at the Technopolis shop a few hours after the purchase, employees told us ' problem is not hardware: we do not cancel the sale, we can take over the computer and give your money. " "Problem is software: see with Toshiba.
    The best we could get was the address of a computer service non-Toshiba to try to ask if they might be able to install Windows 7


    I already spent half a day working on it
    What can we do to install Windows 7 or get the computer returned and refunded?

    Tried Tnings at night:

    -> Intall Ubuntu 12.04: card WiFi can't work, no Ethernet cable to update from the Internet

    The drivers are on the website of Intel, but solution install require packages to download on the internet, not USB

    -> Last Debian version: error starting in the command line

    -> 14.04 installed, Ubuntu box checked during installation to use the Intel Wifi device
    Re: software WiFi cannot connect. Spent a few hours on forums to try to understand how to install the Intel USB drivers. Does not work.

    For people who want to buy this model, try to get a player of optical disk to install Windows, a good cable to Linux, update or be prepared to spend time and money for the service simply be able to use the computer.

    Oh, another thing: Technopolis company is not able to provide you with enough information before buying a product. I will not say that they rip off, but almost: especially to overseas buyers, buy refusal refund to anyone who is not able to have an argument that was screaming in Bulgarian with them.

  • G5x - loading via the USB cord and a powerbank?

    Just bought a G5X. Buy an extra battery because of comments I've read on the battery life.

    Setting everything up, take some photos and read the manual.  He mentions the USB cord in option and the possibility to connect it to the computer directly to load and do not have to use the AC adapter as an option or using the USB option and the optional adapter to plug into the wall.   No mention is made in regard to connect it via the USB port in to a power Bank.  I have a Bank of RAVPOWER which I use to load my Galaxy 6 and my iPad from time to time.  The specifications are:

    capacity, 16770mah / 61.9wh, entry Screemy/2, output dc5v / 4. 5 a total max.

    Search Bank powerbank and power on the forum, but is not come with anything so thought I would ask if we use power load up and if it works well or not.

    Thank you.

    Your camera battery is only a 1250 mah 4 battery 5wh your powerbank should do the job nicely!

    The camera will only build the power he needs to load the regarless of powerbank power capacity,

    I use power also for various devices that are a fraction of the capacity of power

  • BlackBerry Smartphones No micro sd, data connection, simply to transfer photos and other BlackBerry to the computer via a usb port

    Very well. So I don't have a data plan on my blackberry, so no not web email, I use it strictly for telephone calls, text messaging and taking pictures. I want to transfer my photos and my text messages sms from my phone on my computer. I would also like to transfer my ringtones if possible but I won't push my luck on this one here. I don't have a microsd card in my phone, so everything is recorded directly on the phone itself. I tried to connect my phone to my computer via the usb port but it does not allow me to go into things phone and copy on my computer. I also downloaded and tried the blackberry desktop manager, but he wants me to turn on the storage of mass media that will not help me because there is no microsd card in my phone. I want to record everything on my computer because I bought a new phone that is NOT a blackberry and I want to have my files on my computer. Can someone help me please?

    Thank you!

    Try to download and install an earlier version of the desktop as the BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.6 software.  You should be able to download it here: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22

  • I am running vista 32 bit and I think the upgrade to windows 7

    I'm running vista 32 bit and I think the upgrade to windows 7, I don't know if I choose the upgrade option, I can keep all my files and all the software that I

    installed on my laptop but that include photos, video and music and send the parameters I use outlook 2003.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Depends on which edition of Vista you use on Windows 7 edition, you can switch to.

    And as you use 32-bit, you can only switch to Windows 7 32 bit.

    32-bit to 64-bit should be done with a clean install.

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

    Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:
