• When a pop-up message indicates that a storage device has just been attached and I don't put a USB storage device into the computer at all, what that means?

  From time to time, (isn't that every now and then, not every day or every week) a message appears on the computer screen to notify that "a storage device has been attached... and something or other on a port '-as it would if a new hardware device had just been installed or removed... only, I have not attached at a storage device.

  In fact, apart from the scanner, printer and keyboard connected, which are already inserted until the computer is turned on, no USB storage device or any other thing seized or inserted into the computer when this message is displayed on the lower right screen where the icons on the desktop are,

  Why would this happen unless I had personally inserted/joint a USB stick storage device myself in my computer?

  I'm afraid that maybe someone to access details and store information from a remote location via a storage device? Is this possible?

  And if it's an error of some sort, how to fix this problem?

  Please notify. Thank you.

  This probably means you have a bad USB connection somewhere.  I got this a lot when I used markets good USB hubs.  It also happened a lot on a couple of the USB plugs on my old laptop 4 year, where I had plugged in and out things in them so that the connectors are not as strong as they were when new.  My main office more connected devices above that outputs 4 USB, that I had on the back, so I finally bought a card extension to add 4 more exits USB.  If this is your case, perhaps you could do the same.  Expansion cards are not very expensive, usually in the range of $ 15 to $ 25, and they are fairly simple to install.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• Windows 7 USB Memory stick found

  To the right,.

  A few moments ago I provided an image my laptop using our Windows 7 image.  Previously I was using Windows XP.  Now that I have Windows 7, whenever I plug a USB key I do not get the noise that applies to connected equipment.  The device does not appear in Device Manager.  It's as if the computer will not even try to install the equipment.  I have a USB 2.0 VGA adapter and a DVD/RW from Sony reader connected, both plug-ins using USB and no problem with these devices.  Also have a keyboard and wireless mouse and the receiver attaches to the laptop via USB and no problem.  My NEC monitor has USB ports on the side and there is a USB cable that goes from the laptop screen and who operates the ports on the screen.  The computer does not find these USB ports.  Any thoughts?

  Thank you

  Hi John,.

  As you mentioned in the post that other USB devices work correctly on your machine, I suggest you connect the memory stick to another machine and check if it works well.

• My Lexmark printer stopped working and the error message says "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?).

  When my printer stopped working because of error messages about "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?), I tried to change to 2nd USB port without success. I tried a new cable; that did not help.

  Then I uninstalled and reinstalled my Lexmark printer and changed the error message. Now, the printer does not work because "the USB device is not recognized."

  I tried to update the chips; Use 1 USB port; and using the old cable, all this without success. I checked the connections of the cable to the printer and the PC and turn on the printer and goes off; I'm out of ideas. Any other suggestions?

  The initial problem was no audio sound on CD.  The computer had other system sounds.  I uninstalled the Realtek drivers and downloaded from the website computer and reinstalled.  Still the same problem. I tried to adjust the volume control and clicked the speaker at the bottom on the right bar.  I got a message saying there is no mixer device and the small speaker disappeared and reappeared even after several reboots.  There is also an error "no audio device".

  After reboot, the computer gives this error message: "Generic Host process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close." We are sorry for the inconvenience. »

  While trying to find a solution on the web, I discovered that the computer does not recognize the usb key,
  It won't restore to an earlier time,
  the CD/DVD drive will not run the data disks

  and Windows Update will not update.  The error message said: "the site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to show."  There is an error number: 0x800706BE I tried to find this error message on the MS knowledge base, but it is not listed.

  The last Windows Update was on April 16, 2009 so I tried to restore to April 15, but it says 'system restore is not able to protect your computer.  Restart your computer and restart System Restore. "    After the reboot, the same thing happens.

  Any help is appreciated.

  The data is not "hostage." Pull the disk and put it in a box disc or it slave to a working computer and retrieve the data. If you don't have an additional computer you will need to borrow a friend or with the machine at a tech. You can also try the o with a Linux Live CD boot. I like Knoppix, but there are others. This has two advantages: 1) if the system works, you can back up all the data that missed your last backup; and (2) with the machine running Linux allows to determine whether the problems are caused by software or hardware. If the machine is unbearably slow and/or Linux cannot run correctly, you know that the hardware is at fault. If the machine behaves perfectly under Linux, you know that the software (Windows) is at fault.

  Whatever you do, do not install Windows without test material. If the hardware is at fault, software solutions like reinstalling Windows will be unnecessary. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Corruption of USB memory stick

  I have a key USB Verbatim that I use to synchronize files between a laptop running Vista Home Premium and your desktop under XP Professional SP3.

  By 'synchronize', I mean just to run a batch file to copy files.  Nothing complicated.

  Since upgrading my Vista laptop, I started to get the corruption of files on my USB key.  So far, this has happened twice.  I first noticed the corruption because it lacked (1) the files I copied on the memory stick, and Vista (2) began to complain when I plug in the USB key and offer to "scan and difficulty" it.  I ran chkdsk on the USB drive, which found errors.  CHKDSK said she 'removed the entries in the folder' and 'converted to strings lost files.  Running of chkdsk has not yet found any errors.  I've spent a lot of time to rebuild the data corrupted on my USB backup I had done elsewhere and has been subsequently upward and re-run.

  Since I first corruption running chkdsk on a regular basis (even the time I plug the memory stick) and careful to always use surely "remove hardware" on both machines before unplugging the drive.  I was also careful not to let my laptop to sleep so that the USB plugged, but it shouldn't matter.

  This morning, I noticed that corruption had resurfaced.  I've been running chkdsk often, I'm sure it's happened when the files to deal with USB stick on the Vista laptop this morning.

  What is the guilty likily here?  It seems that it's the hardware of USB memory stick or a bug in Windows Vista?  A person offers advice such as how to limit?

  DietCokeAddict,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  Looks like you did a good job to limit the problem.  I would certainly continue to run chkdsk on the USB memory key and make remove them hardware safely shows before withdrawing.  There is an update for Vista that is specifically for USB devices that may solve your problem.  I had it set a number of different problems with USB devices.
