  • Peripheral USB malfunctioned after fashion "Eve" laptop computer in Vista

    If I turn off my cell during the night and then open it in the morning, it works very well for a while and then this happens. The sound begins to become an anachid. USB devices don't work. I can't connect the printer, a USB key or CDMA cell phone through which I connect to the internet. Even the bluetooth connection does not work. This works for two or three hours if he rested all night. If I let it sit for an hour in the afternoon, and then open the computer it works for only about half an hour or so when the problem is recurring.

    Either your laptop is overheating and/or your equipment is faulty when it's hot. Since it is a laptop, the question is on the motherboard. If the laptop is still under warranty, contact technical support of the portable mftr.. If this isn't the case, then you must decide whether to spend rather a lot of money on the replacement of the motherboard based on age and the initial cost of the laptop.

  • USB dongle and ESX 3.5 license

    I currently have a cluster with ESX 3.5 knots (3) using DRS/HA. I have a request to fix a simple USB dongle to this environment which will be accessed by an application that will run on 2-3 virtual servers (Win2K3 servers) running in my license ESX cluster. My limits are that I have 1 of these USB devices and cannot get more. I did some research on this subject and it seems that my only solution would be the use of a certain type of USB device IP such as the digi AnywhereUSB.

    My hypothesis is correct? Is there another solution? Is anyone out there using this configuration?  Thanks in advance.

    Your assumption is correct - there are other manufacturers of the other but I have the best success with the Digi product.

  • Device USB not recognized - device connected USB has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4 laptop running Windows 7 Home Edition Premium and the USB ports worked well for a HP deskjet printer and an older Casio digital camera. Then one day, the laptop decided not to recognize the Casio digital camera and gave the error message "USB device not recognized" and also indicated that the device connected to the computer has malfunctioned. This prompted me to buy a new digital camera Canon. Well, a new camera has not fixed the problem. Now, anything that is connected to one of the 2 ports USB will not be recognized by my laptop. Help!  I am at a loss to understand this.  I tried using Microsoft suggested below:

    Suggestion 1: the problem with USB devices, uninstall and reinstall all USB controllers. This allows controllers to recover the port USB of his condition does not respond.
    USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.

    a. Click Start, type Manager of devices in the search box of start and press ENTER.
    b. expand Bus USB controllers.
    Note: you may scroll through the list to find this point.
    c. the first USB controller under Bus USB controllers right click and then click on uninstall to remove it.
    d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.
    e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.
    f. check the USB device to see if it works.

    This has not fixed the problem.  Then the Device Manager, I tried to update the drivers on all the USB controllers and root hubs. While some may have received software updates downloaded, it still has not corrected the problem of unrecognized USB device after the computer is restarted.  I hope that someone knows the solution to this situation and can pass it on to me. Thanks for reading and any help display.

    Read previous messages revealed the solution for USB devices not recognized on my HP Pavilion as well as several other laptop models.  Shut down the computer and remove the battery and wait for about 15 minutes. Reinstall the battery and restart the computer.  USB ports are working to download pictures from my digital camera from Canon and charging a cell phone, etc...   I hope it helps others with this problem!

  • Why am I suddenly "USB not recognized, one of the devices USB has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize"

    Hi all. If anyone out there in Cyber Land can solve this problem for me so I've personally you will issue an eight-pack of ice-cold beer (or a bottle of wine for the ladies lol)...

    I'll try not to waffle too guys, so here's...

    Right my PC running Windows XP. I also have itunes installed on my PC (I have an iphone 4). Upward until yesterday my iphone and itunes were working well, (once I plugged my iphone in the itunes USB port recognised that my iphone was plugged and synchronization was fine etc.).

    But now when I plug my iphone to PC to sync with itunes, I get a pop up box on the lower right part of the screen that reads... "USB not recognized one of the USB devices has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize."

    After visiting about 5 different sites now "Ways to solve this problem", believe it or not, I still have the problem bloody! :(

    A site proposed shutdown PC and unplug it from the power supply, then plug it back start-up and back... this as did not work!
    The other they say that I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs then restart... it did not work either.
    Tried a system restore
    Tried to reinstall itunes

    When I check the names USB in Device Manager, there is one who reads unknown device. I am literally pulling what's left of my hair now. I tried to solve this problem for almost 2 days now and still no joy. That's why no matter what input you guys would be very appreciated. I'm no PC Wizard, so please, don't think you're patronizing me if you break down things step by step for me.

    Thank you comrades, cordially, Freddy frustrated. :)

    Another said I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs and restart.

    Usually, this works... but can be very dangerous, unless you have a PS/2 keyboard.

    I also assume that you have tried all other USB ports on the computer. tried a verified USB device (for example, a flash drive) in the USB usually when you plug in your iPhone. and I tried your iPhone in another computer (I know it's rare for an error message Windows really means what he says, but sometimes the material lacks).

    Is the charge of the iPhone when it is connected to the USB port (I don't think)?  This happened to me recently, but a reboot fixed it.  I guess that that happened to you.

    I guess that you don't see the error messages in Device Manager or you must declare them.

    You can uninstall all USB devices that do not exist as follows:

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Enter the following command and press enter

    Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

    • Start the Device Manager by typing the following in the same command prompt window

    devmgmt.msc

    • In Device Manager, click the view menu and select "Show hidden devices".
    • You should see a category just after "Non-Plug and Play drivers" named "other devices."  Chances are that there will be a big exclamation yellow mark beside it.  When you expand the "other devices" you should see several non identified "USB devices."  Uninstall all this.
    • Reboot (with the iPhone NOT connected).
  • Peripheral USB has malfunctioned. Windows does not recognize it.

    Peripheral USB has malfunctioned. Windows does not recognize it.

    Hello

    ·        What is the exact error that you receive when you try to connect USB?

    ·        Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·        Which device you are trying to connect via USB?

    ·        This problem occurs only with a USB device or USB devices?

    Method 1:

    You can try to plug the USB key into a different USB port and check if you face the same problem.

    Method 2:

    Also I suggest to Uninstall USB controllersfrom Device Manager and check if it solves the problem. To do so follow the steps below:

    (a) click Start

    (b) the Device Manager type in the search bar and press ENTER

    (c) in device manager, go to the bottom and double click on Bus USB controllers, this will open a list of USB controllers to uninstall all controllers and restart the system this will reinstall all USB controllers again.

     

    Method 3:

    I also suggest to run the difficulty he provide in the link below

  • Formerly peripheral usb stop recognized

    Can someone tell me what are the INF files are responsible for the generic recognition USB deviecs, such as USB hubs and the HID devices (keyboard, mouse,...), or what else might have broken into my system that causes the following symptoms?

    For a long time, my system has ceased to recognize some, but not all USB devices.  USB ports are fine, he reads the device descriptors but then said that material is unknown or says that it cannot find a driver for it.

    The second symptom that must have started at the same time, it is that he "forgets" on some USB devices that have always worked well before, with the same result: suddenly is 'unknown' or 'impossible to find a driver.

    Two weeks ago, it was my keyboard.  He has always worked when I logged in (it had, I used it my password).  Immediately after logging in, the new found hardware thing jumped upward, within a few seconds it says that it is impossible to install my new hardware, and at that time, my keyboard no longer works.  Never found a solution, I have been using a PS2 keyboard instead. I tried other USB keyboards, he did not identify any of them.

    Yesterday was my monitor's built-in USB hub that suddenly transformed into an 'unknown device', and nothing that I connect it is no longer detected. The only thing that is always good for now is as a power source to recharge my cell phone.

    To try to fix that, I launched the Device Manager and let him to search for new hardware.  Result: instead of my USB hub starts working again, my Logitech wireless mouse stopped working. The 'USB receiver' now appears with an exclamation point, "the drivers for this device are not installed.  It worked fine for a few seconds before.

    Now I'm back with a wired USB mouse, but I wonder how long it will continue to work.

    [Edit] Until someone suggests: I tried a few things that I found on the web as suggestions for similar problems.

    * Reinstalled the Intel chipset drivers.

    * In device manager, uninstalled all the USB controllers and let the system re - detect the.

    It changed nothing.

    [Edit 2] I still had a "Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0' (long name for a small thing) lying around.  The wireless receiver is always recognized, that's just the Logitech "unified receiver ' of my Logitech M510, which is not. It is not the receiver who is at fault: when I plug it in, it appears in device management with the right name and the device ID USB\VID_046D & PID_C52B & REV_1201 - USB\VID_046D & PID_C52B and status "the drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) ».

    * Fixed! *

    If we compare the %SystemRoot%\Inf contents to another system to Win7-64, I noticed this USB file. Missing info.  Copied to the system, the Device Manager started and re-installed drivers for non-working devices, and the problem is solved.
