• Microsoft Arc mouse recognized but does not work

  I have a Microsoft Arc mouse I got a few days before... I just got the possibility to use it today and when I inserted the dongle installed system drivers and device recognized as a mouse Arc... but when I moved the mouse nothing would happen... When I fold and re - open the mouse the green light for 20 sec. and then turns off again... and no blue light comes from the bottom of the mouse.

  I tried to install Intellipoint, nothing helps...

  Please advice!

  Hi - I actually found the problem and the solution.

  The problem is related to the Microsoft Bluetooth power management feature. You must turn off the power for the bluetooth mouse management.

  Unfortunately, I discovered the issue after I returned the device to Microsoft. Given that Microsoft was aware of this feature, that I'm really surprised to see that:

  1. It is not mentioned in the manuals for the Arc Mouse
  2. He is not mentioned anywhere on the help of the advice provided by Microsoft
  3. He made public not much at all

  I bought a Logitech mouse - which had exactly the same problem, and that's when I realized it was a systematic problem. I kept digging and came across the answer that worked - disable power management.

  I'm surprised that it is not made more transparent - I see forums and others that it is a very big problem. Epic fail for Microsoft on this one.

  In any case, I hope this helps others!

• Bluetooth mouse stopped working & USB device not recognized error

  Laptop using Windows Vista

  I was using my bluetooth mouse when I plugged my mobile phone (via USB cable) in charge. I have done this before w/o a problem (perhaps in another USB Port, now that I think about it) but I did this time and I instantly lost the ability to use my bluetooth mouse and the "USB device not recognized" bubble popped up. Now, this window pops up almost every 10 seconds even with disconnected USB mobile phone.

  I went to bluetooth devices trying to pair my mouse w / new laptop and I can not. It's not show my mouse and when I go to Bluetooth settings and try checking the box (and pressing OK) under the discovery that reads "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" it gives me an error saying that this is impossible.

• USB device not recognized... Unplug the thing does NOT work

  It baffles me that THOUSANDS of people have this problem, or a variant of it, and no ONE at Microsoft or elsewhere also offers a real solution. Unless of course you want to count the method "unplug your computer", which is the most foolish band-aid for a problem I never heard, even if it works for a lot of people (most). I, unfortunately, am one of those for which the "disconnect" method magic does NOT work. I tried everything what all other posters and responder suggested (BIOS upgrade, change Legacy BIOS definition Enable to disable to activate again, driver updates, uninstall all USB, full power down and restart hours later, use CMD prompt to show only devices, etc.) and do not know what else to try. I would really like to see a REAL answer as to the cause of the majority of the questions posted about the USB error outside the usual "restore your settings, use your restore disk, unplug it, replace your USB key, etc etc etc. HEY! MICROSOFT! SOLVE THE PROBLEM! OR, Hey, here's an idea, a news for you, I'm sure that... don't they exude products until they have been tested (NO! I mean really, fully tested [see XBox 360 RROD])

  In case anyone reading this is a real working solution, I'm on a Toshiba A135-S2386, Vista Home, and each USB port is unusable on any device. All ports feeds the device and noise sounds to indicate that a USB device was attached and then proceeds to the display of the error "USB device not recognized" and shows and shows an unknown device connected. It does this for any USB device.

  FINALLY: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT POST A REPLY IF YOU USED THE METHOD OF "DISCONNECT", AND IT WORKED. Grats to you for fixing your computer, but I can just not read another 400 posts of "wow it worked for me great fantastic" when it does NOT work for everyone. I need something new and real. (Sorry to be all grumpy, but I'm tired of these kinds of problems from companies making billions off the coast of junk, defective, half finished, produced a car!) "You listen to Bill?)

  UPDATE: just ran a scan of the system file Confirmation via an administrator command prompt and it's clean...
  ALSO - was not that before, but now whenever I do a complete power down / reboot thing that it gives me a "Bad Checksum" error and I have to reset the date and time in the BIOS. I need to change the battery in MB? As I said it did not have this before and the USB error was produced, but could this be the problem? Bad battery MB CMOS?

  The bios of your motherboard is probably damaged.

  step 1. See if you can find a previous version of the bios of your motherboard and return date of the bios.

  step 2. Find the latest version of the bios of your motherboard and update your bios.

  Do not use a registered version of your current version.

  To check the problem is the motherboard or operating system. find something like a live Ubuntu CD

  http://www.Ubuntu.com/desktop/get-Ubuntu/download.

  or

  Make a Ultimate Boot CD for Windows

  http://www.UBCD4Win.com/index.htm you are using windows xp or borrow a copy to UBD4WIN.

  Both of the above run in memory (does not load on hard drive.

  Both a bit slow, but are excellent tools.

  Works like a normal computer.

  If you can see you USB devices, magicjack, ETC. your BIOS is not corrupt or motherboard problem.

  In normal windows if you see not the USB devices, magicjack, etc your windows install is corrupt.

  Reload Windows of difficulty.

  If you you do not see the magicjack, USB devices, ETC., your BIOS is corrupt motherboard or other problem.

  Redo your BIOS as described above.

  All other unwanted do not work , he was done !

• USB printer not recognized after Windows update

  OT: usb device not recognized

  After that suddenly stop, reboot, done, the device is plugged in where the printer indicates that it does not recognize the device. I said abattissent unplug it and reconnect it and if it doesn't work me to replace... I re install the driver for the Hpdeskjet940c but nothing works...

  Hello grasshopper.

  This problem may be caused mainly by broken printer drivers, this could have been caused when you installed the updates. I suggest that you start with a restoration of the system on the computer by choosing a restore point when it was working fine.

  a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.

  b. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

  d. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  e. click Finish.

  You can see the following article for reference:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

  You can also try driver restore on the computer and check if it helps.

  To roll back a driver in Windows send the driver to the version that was finally installed for the device. Restoring a driver is an easy way to return a driver for a working version when a driver update fails to fix a problem or maybe even a new problem.

  a. open the Device Manager. To do this, click Start, type device in the area Manager search and then click on Device Manager in the list programs.

  b. right click on the device for which the previous version of the driver is desired and then click Properties.

  c. click the tab drivers.

  d. click on Roll Back Driver.
