• 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.

• Message "USB Mass Storage Device does not work properly"

  Ran AVG PC tune up and referred the problem message "USB storage device work does not correctly. I went to Device Manager, clicked on "bus USB controllers. He showed the device with a yellow exclamation point USB mass storage. I have double clicked on it, went to the drivers and updated the driver.

• "This USB mass storage device can transfer information faster if you connect it to a USB 3.0 port Superspeed ' when the device is already connected to a USB 3.0 port.

  I just bought and installed a USB 3.0 card. It is the Startech PEXUSB3S2 PCIe card. I installed the card in a PCIe 2.0 X 1 slot. The manual says it's exactly the slot, that it supports.

  The Manager device displays NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller and NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Root Hub are installed and are working correctly. I have a Thermaltake BLACX5G 5 G USB 3.0 hard drive caddy. The transfer rate is only 35 MB/s using the HDTune benchmark. It is a USB 2.0 speed.

  When the player is turned on, windows displays the message "this USB mass storage device can transfer information faster if you connect it to a Super speed USB 3.0 port»

  For some reason, the system doesn't see the caddy to drive USB 3.0 as being plugged into a USB 3.0 port, when it actually is.

  I remember having this same problem with Windows XP, when I bought a USB 2.0 card. The only thing that fixed it at the time was upgraded to XP SP2.

  This should not be a problem because I know that Windows 7 pro 64-bit supports USB 3.0.

  My motherboard is an ASUS P5QL-EM support an Intel Core 2 Quad and 4 GB of DDR2 memory. According to the manual owner the PCIe x 1 slots support architecture 1.0 and 2.0.

  Edit: I just tested the external hard drive and expansion card USB 3.0 on my motherboard Gigabyte of friends running Windows XP. Everything worked perfectly, no problems at all.

  Here, there is a problem with Windows 7 or the motherboard. Still unresolved, currently installs a floppy drive so I can update the firmware of my motherboard.

  I checked the implementation of the card several times, removed and installed in another motherboard to test, then removed and reinstalled again in my motherboard ASUS check several times for a fit course.  It still does not work. I have just completed update the firmware of the motherboard with the latest version, and I also did a new install of Windows 7, install the drivers USB 3.0 immediately after installing Windows over. None of this solves the problem.

  I'm running out of ideas on how to fix this without doing something drastic as a replacement for my motherboard. I don't want the speed of USB 3.0, but I don't think I'm ready for an another two or three hundred dollars to get it.

  I've been all over the ' net trying to find a solution and read tons about USB USB 3.0 specifically and in general. I can find no reason why the drivers would install and report that they are working correctly, but fail to connect to 3.0 speeds. I think that this would generate a certain type of error instead of such a strange symptom.

  EDIT:

  Here go us. I knew that is was a bad idea to buy one main (ASUS P5QL-EM) card that had to be overclocked to 1066 MHz for DRAM memory. I did all this work, and every time I reset my BIOS or updated it would always be the frequency DRAM back to where it should be (1066). After a reset of the computer was the starter and I just let it start instead of setting the DRAM frequency and, suddenly, USB 3.0 card worked perfectly. I confirmed this by setting the frequency to 1066 and looking at the USB 3.0 card fail again. I guess it must have something to do with the clock being sent to the PCIe bus.

  In any case, the USB 3.0 card works perfectly and gives me a transfer rate HD Tune to 99 MB/s on a drive from WD SATA 7200 RPM and 86.1 Mbps on a Samsung drive hard 5400 RPM / MIN 3,5 "SATA. These are the same reference points I get when these drives are connected to my internal SATA connectors. I'd say USB 3.o works perfectly now and maxing out the hard drives performance.

  Thanks for any help.

• USB mass storage driver update

  I have three USB keys from various manufacturers, none of which can be mounted by Windows 7.  When I Plug one in, Device Manager it shows under "Other devices" with the yellow exclamation point.  I right-click, select Properties, the error message "Code 28", click on "Update Driver", and after some research, I get this error:

  Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.
  USB mass storage device
  The system cannot find the specified file.

  I also three are "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" that I can't fix it for the same reasons, but I am happy to have solved the problem of USB.

  I watched all my points of system restore to see if all drivers could be affected by the restoration, but saw nothing.

  All forums 'remedy', I found say "get the driver from the manufacturer", but all the manufacturers say "Microsoft Update".  Does anyone have a suggestion?

  A final report on this issue.  I bit the bullet and made a "in-place upgrade", which I think was called a 'repair installation '.  In addition to the hopelessly long time that this process took, the more interesting I noticed the thing was towards the end of the installation, I got a report that the .NET framework version 4 has been damaged.  Sure, I have no idea how it was damaged, but that could go a long way to explain the variety of issues that were beginning to annoy me.

  If I seem to be well again; at least, I can mount the USB keys, which is what prompted all.  Thanks for your help; I hope that I have does not work in this new.

  Are you sure that the USB is not bad? Also have you tried on some other computer USB3 ports to see if those who can see the drive? Looks like your USB is not USB3 if it can read the disk HARD USB3 but not the USB3 Flash in question. Also make sure that your laptop ports are USB3 ports? In the contrary case, we owe this: to check if the ports are USB3...

  1. is this startup crashes before windows loads?

  2. you have SP2 installed on your computer?

  If windows hangs at the POST (Power-on-self-test), you may need to update the drivers from the motherboard.

• Logitech USB headset mic has stopped working

  Windows 7 - headset stopped working suddenly

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  About 5 days ago my Logitech USB headset microphone has stopped working.  The helmet always plays the sound, but the microphone is not input all the sounds.

  Things I've done:

  -Uninstalled / reinstalled the Driver Headset, USB Drivers, & sound card driver.

  -helmet I tried on another pc (it worked)

  -tried headphones different USB on my machine (a no exit worked / entry)

  -tried headphones with input jack then the sound card. (has no output worked / entry)

  -bought a new sound card and used the headset with Sockets (has no output worked / entry)

  -tried all the possible configurations of devices of entry & exits in my sound options (nothing worked)

  -Re-enabled the sound card integrated and connected only (output worked / entry has no)

  1 odd thing happens.  If I smack physically the pc microphone picks up which leads me to believe that somewhere the sound is just set really low rather than not working do not at all even if I turned upwards never slider that I can find to max volume.  I get no error.  Nothing has changed recently with my pc.

  Technical support of Logitech said simply that my 500 DSP is no longer supported in the version of Windows 7 SP1.  Logitech provides no drivers, etc except through Microsoft.  Microsoft web site shows incompatible.

  But after going through Control Panel/convenience store, he started working for the micro and headphones.  Hooray!
