  Nothing really happened, and I found myself ignoring the notification. But this morning, when she appeared again, after a few minutes, Windows Vista just froze and I couldn't do anything, not even the good old CTRL + ALT + DELETE. I was forced to turn off the laptop. After a while, I decided to start it up and still once, this notification frozen windows. I don't know what to do now. This seems to happen after about 5 minutes of connection, so I can't really back up my files in the five minutes before it crashes again.
  my windows vista is running on an installation in dual boot on a 5 years old macbook pro.
  Ive tried looking for solutions, but I have a lot of luck. I NEED HELP! :)

  When you click SEARCH AND INSTALL DRIVER SOFTWARE (RECOMMENDED), which is the error message that comes. Because Windows says it cannot locate or install the drivers for the device?

• is a label of ok usb mass storage device or I have to force vista to recognize the hd?

  on a computer hp laptop double heart running vista;  try to use the old never used western digital 500 GB caviar blue as disk hard external for backup/storage purposes. Vista does not except as a usb mass storage device.  as soon as I arrive at the radio Shack to the cheap ide cable, I need to decide on the way to go here. I want a clean version of vista that is stored in its own partition, one for general campaigns and then one for pictures, etc... .  I'm ok with mass storage or not here? No geek.
  Thank you!
  John

  Hi John,.

  You are able to access the external hard drive or not?

  The external storage device will appear only as usb mass storage device.

  You can use the external device for general storage purposes but the operating system should be stored in the internal hard disk only.

• KB915597 cause windows vista to freeze

  KB915597 for Windows Defender update causes Windows Vista to freeze.  At all times, I have to restart my computer for this reason.  And I can't uninstall Windows Defender because it is now integrated into Windows Vista.  In addition, I can not uninstall the update.  If ever I have to reinstall windows again and uncheck automatic updates, so I can make sure that this update is downloaded or simply live with the question until Microsoft fixes it.  Microsoft has released a fix for this error yet?  There is nothing wrong with my laptop because I just erased the hard drive and reinstalled vista.  I actually discovered this by accident because I reinstalled my operating system before but this freeze happening started and I thought it was a problem of Dell Update.

• Windows Vista does not recognize the removable storage device

  ISSUE INITIAL 2010-03-03)
  Here's the scenario:
  1. Insert the card compact flash.
  2 computer recognizes the removable storage (that is, it is assigned a drive letter and appears in disk management).
  3. use the icon remove the device safely in the taskbar to stop the machine to remove safely.
  4. remove the card compact flash.
  5. Insert the compact flash card.
  6. the computer does not recognize removable storage (that is, it is not assigned a drive letter and does not appear in disk management).

  The only way I can get windows to recognize the drive is to restart my computer. How can I get windows recognize the drive without having to reboot?   This problem does not occur with USB flash drives.

  UPDATE (04/03/2010):
  I have more information, I hope this helps to reach a solution.

  -J' repeated the steps above 1 to 3, with open Device Manager.  In step 3, in the Device Manager window, the icon for the question USB mass storage device becomes the exclamation point in yellow triangle icon.  Check its properties on the tab "General", in the "Device status" box, it says: "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been established for"safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)  IX this problem, disconnect the device from your computer and then reconnect it.  Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. »
  -J' then removed the card and rest of the error state.
  -J' I re inserted the card, and rest of the error state.
  -J' I then tried to update the driver by accessing the tab "driver", click on "Update driver", click on "Automatically search for an updated driver", and the result was "the best driver for your device is already installed."

  I found the solution on this hp web page:
  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=bph07910&tmp_task=solveCategory&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=3876397&lang=en#N1074

  Basically, it says NOT to use the function "remove the device safely.  Instead, just right-click on the drive in the Solution Explorer, then choose "Eject".  Works perfectly.

  Some excerpts...
  "Memory card readers are devices that use the icon remove the device safely in the notification area in the taskbar). Do not click stop in the window, remove the device safely. Doing so can disconnect the card memory reader for Windows. In this case, restart the computer to reset the memory card reader. »

• Satellite Pro M70: removal of the USB device causes other peripheral USB does not work

  Withdrawal/use of a USB for a USB device causes devices on USB port to get affected.

  Satellite Pro M70-199 (2 GB RAM)
  Windows XP Pro (SP2) with all updates of Windows installed until end of October 2006.
  This laptop has 3 USB ports.
  An Eicon Diva ISDN USB modem is connected to a USB port.

  When certain devices connected to a different USB port are deleted (even if removed safely with "eject" or "remove device safely", it causes the ISDN modem to file either a double channel (64 k + 64 k) ISDN, or for the ISDM modem to disconnect completely.)

  Cause this include any memory stick USB, MP3 player (ipod and creative zen) and so on.

  Do other devices, such as USB external hard drives & sometimes external DVD USB drives, and sonetimes do not produce this problem.

  Is this a known issue?
  If it is a hardware interrupt problem, how to solve it?
  This problem is related to the modem and the laptop?

  As a note, in addition, intermittent (random) times (cannot reproduce all the time, but it happens once or twice a day) when a USB device is accessible it causes the modem USB ISDN to drop a single channel, even if the lights on the modem still show it as it is connected. In this case and the case above, the only way to get the modem ISDN USB running again is physically disconnect and reconnect.

  The reason why it is a crucial issue is that:
  (1) the modem speed is halved or disconnected
  (2) the ISP continues to full rate for a double load connection even if a channel has been dropped.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I have Satellite M70-159 and I didn t notice any strange problems with the USB ports. I use a few of them as printer, webcam, USB, memory stick, optical mouse, and external HARD drive. The devices are recognized correctly and I always remove without option delete without danger.

  Now I have Vista pre-installed and there is no problem so far. If I understand you right USB ports work fine but there is problem with USB modem only. Am I wrong?
  Also try to contact the producer of modem support. Is perhaps the question like this known and if all goes well, they have a logical explanation.

• USB Mass Storage Device problem

  I have the HP Pavilion Elite E9120f desktop computer. Whenever I start the computer, it shows that I have USB mass storage drives, G, H, I and J. However, there is no attached USB mass storage device. No one knows why this happens? I just usually click on the removal of the safety equipment and remove false devices. I get the message "this device can now be deleted without the computer problem. This machine runs Vista and has a 1 terabyte of hard drive. Thank you

  Bart, have you checked in 'My Computer' when this happens to see if the drives are there?  Almost looks like you have a virtual drive on your computer program.  Check also in start/startup to see if he is there that nothing listed that could cause this to happen.  Four readers Ghost is really strange.

• Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device [Unlocker doesn't work]

  Hey everybody,

  Just like everyone else, I get a pop-up message when trying to eject my external hard drive WD: "problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device. Windows can't stop... "and so on." This does not work when I've only sailed on the disk, but it does, for example, when I made a mistake - check or make a backup. I already checked the forums, but unlike everyone else, third-party programs do not work for me.
  I did the following:

  -closed open task

  -disabled virus scanner

  -used Unlocker and Process Explorer, but he can't find any process that locks my drive. What happens here?

  -rebooted in safe mode

  -disabled indexing

  It makes me crazy that I have to restart whenever I want my drive to eject.

  Oh, and I use Windows 7.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Hello

  (1) is limited to any specific USB device?

  (2) did you try to connect the device to a different USB port and check if you are facing a similar question?

  This problem may occur if there are handles open with all the files in the USB (Universal Serial Bus) mass storage device are in use by another program. Follow these methods and check if that helps.

  Method 1:

  I suggest you run the hardware and devices Troubleshooter to check if it helps.

  Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

  Method 2:

  I suggest you to check and clean the boot if any third-party program is causing the problem.

   

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista and Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

   

  Warning: After you used the clean boot in order to solve your problem follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual.

   

  Connecting and disconnecting USB devices:

   

  Most USB devices can be removed and disconnected at will. When you unplug the devices of storage, such as USB flash drives, you should be sure that the computer has finished saving all the information on the device before removing it. If the device has an activity light, wait a few seconds after the light has finished flashing before unplugging.

  If you see the icon remove the device safely in to the far right of the taskbar notification area, you can use this to ensure that devices have finished all operations in progress and are ready to remove. Click the icon and you will see a list of devices. Click the device you want to remove.

  You can use any USB port when you plug in a device you have installed beforehand. However, the first time you connect a device to a particular port, Windows will install the driver for this device again.

  Hey Buddy,

  > Location: 3 PCI Bus, device 11, function 2
  To be honest, this information is not useful
  You should check the vendor and device IDS in the devices in the Device Manager.

  At the present time it is difficult to tell what device it is, but you should try to install the card reader driver. Visit the Web from Toshiba for this!
