USB ports are not available

My host is a laptop Toshiba with Ws 7. The USB ports are fully operational. However, with the players that they are not. for example, XHDD is not on the desktop "XP".

What to do so I can make use of the USB ports?

Hi Redoak716,

You just need to add a USB controller to the hardware of your virtual machine configuration. Make sure VMware tools are installed and running in the comments.

Once your virtual machine is in place and your USB drive connected to the host, attach it to the guest using the control panel of devices on the lower right part of the screen of the console. It will be detached from the host that it cannot be used by the two systems at the same time.

It will be useful.

Concerning

Franck

    No one knows the configuration of the laptop.

    Nobody knows what you did last time with your laptop.
    No one knows how long you have this problem.
    No one knows what are the USB devices that you use to test USB functionality.

  • Since the L7680 installation my usb ports are not detected...

    It seems that something in the registry has been changed.  My Western Digital Passport (mass storage device) is not detected is not my SanDisk Micro (2G).  Western Digital will work in the USB from the printer, but don't the SanDisk.  I've lost the use of all of my USB ports on my computer processor and montor.  They used to work before installation.  I uninstalled and reinstalled, I check startup items in MSCONFIG.

    I read on the Microsoft support page which the hkey_local_machine\system\currentControlSet\Control...

    should be set to activate, but I do not have this folder in XP.

    Western Digital does not know what is happening, or not SanDisk.  HP really gave me the run around way to uninstall and reinstall, but I didn't get an answer that solves the problem.

    It seems to me that since it was drivers from HP which caused my other unit to pass unnoticed, HP should be able to tell me how to solve this problem.  I do too much research for a new product.  I know I'm very frustrated, and since this is a new printer I still have time to take it for something that's going to work.  I had a Dell that has worked well, I wanted to just an upgrade.  I guess I could have updated by Dell.

    Just about the evacuation, someone has an idea what the fix is for my USB not detected ports that have been replaced by the reader on this printer?

    I added a new HP printer to my set all my ports no longer works. None of my flash drives or removable hard disks worked. I tried everything and then read "ports must be updated". My computer is older than three years and the ports of origin are 1.1 and are of most new USB 2.0 devices. Long story short, I went to microcenter and bought new ports ($11.00) and add them to my computer. All ports are now functional.

  • HP Envy m6 1125dx: USB Ports are not working please help

    Hey all,.

    I had problems with my USB ports on my laptop Hp Envy M6 1125 DX. Only 1 usb port works and the rest do not work. I tried everything to update the BIOS updated the drivers from the site. I don't know if the driver is not installed or if it's just a bad USB port, but I didn't really notice it until recently, when I bought a headset and I couldn't use it as my only working port is used by my mouse.

    In the USB tab in Device Manager, it has the following features;

    Generic USB hub

    Generic USB hub

    Family of chipsets Intel (r) 7 series/C216 USB Enhanced Host Controller - 1E2D

    Family of chipsets Intel (r) 7 series/C216 USB Enhanced Host Controller - 1E26

    Composite USB device

    Composite USB device

    USB root hub

    USB root hub

    None of them have a yellow exclamation point so my best guess would be that is missing the drivers for the rest of the ports, but I have no idea. I'm in for this reason excrutiating pain, I'd appreciate any help.

  • Pavilion S5-1204: USB Ports does not: Windows 7 HP Pavilion Slimline

    Hi all

    Yesterday all of a sudden the USB ports are not read.  I have cameras and use a data transfer cable or a card reader to transfer to the office.  Now they do not read.  Tried the front and back of the usb ports.   However, the optical mouse that uses a usb device works.   I don't understand how the mouse works and the purse strings of data transfer and the readers aren't.

    Update: I did troubleshoot a HP check and update driver.  The screen messages

    USB root hub: this device does not work correctly.

    The current tab:

    Generic USB Hub (6)

    1 port available

    Power required: 0mA

    Solved.

    I've narrowed the problem to the camera. Very strange. The camera will take pictures and display them on the screen. But something is happening internally where the image will not transmit or transfer it via a usb device.

    I have another device with a transfer device and it works. So it seems I have to buy a new digital camera. BTW, it is a Nikon S2800 - not recommended.

    Hello

    It seems that you have installed the CD Microsoft Windows operating system and not the Toshiba Recovery CD
    In this case, the installation of Toshiba drivers available on the driver page is necessary.
    Have you installed all the drivers in the correct order?

    For most installation instructions are placed on the driver page, and you must always follow the order of installation recommended in this document.

    Have you installed the chipset utility? This Intel application is one of the most important applications and must be installed at the beginning.

    Hello
    Yesterday, I bought a brand new printer, implemented, it was working fine, and then it just stopped. So I fought a bit with her, decided the printer was defective and would resume and put it out to a new, and meanwhile put my printing task on my jump drive and bring it to our local printing store.
