When I attach my USB to one of my USB ports, I get a message that says "unknown device". However if I plug my mouse and my keyboard in the same USB port it works fine... What do I do? Need HELP I have the info out of my flash drive...

I need to download a driver?

It would be difficult to say that you haven't told us the manufacturer and model of the flash player.
Neither you told us what version, edition and level of service pack of Windows® you are running.
All of the above information is important to answer your question!

Please note, however, that in Windows® XP Service Pack 3 , drivers are not necessary for newer flash players.  If you have not upgraded to the SP2 minimum, you can have trouble reading flash drives.  Download and installation of the SP3 may solve your problem.

In addition, your hardware supports USB 2.0?  If this isn't the case, you may need to install a separate USB controller to use flash drives.  See the documentation for your system.

If you have SP3 and your hardware supports USB 2.0, answer these questions and we will take it from there...

No member of this forum is omniscient.  You just have to tell us about your hardware.  
In addition, Please read KB555375 - how to ask a question

  • When I start my computer I get a message that says that the file < root windows > \system32\hal.dll. is damaged or missing.

    file HAL.dll

    When I start my computer I get a message that says that the file \system32\hal.dll. is damaged or missing. Please reinstall a copy of the file. I have the original Windows XP CD and I tried to re - install, but it will not go beyond the implementation of window. I can't sign in to windows. How can I reintall this file?

    It's extremely likely that you will need to replace the hal.dll and since there are seven files on the XP installation CD that will extend into hal.dll, which would you choose?  It depends on your hardware, but it is extremely likely that the problem (did I already say that?).  I've never had to replace a file hal.dll for this problem.

    The real problem is most likely that XP just can not find the file because of a file system corruption or a file c:\boot.ini afflicted.

    For this error, I would always be first boot from the XP Recovery Console and sometimes run a chkdsk-r that will fix things right to the top.

    If the chkdsk /r is clean and you have the same problem, and then re-create your c:\boot.ini file but rename the old one first so you don't build on top of those afflicted - this tidbit is absent from MS KB article that assumes too.

    You can do all this in the XP Recovery Console, but do go through these methods in this article and see how you go.

    For example, method 1 will not work if your system does not start.  You may have more luck with other "methods".

    If that doesn't work, then I suggest to provide a little more information about your system:

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a real installation CD bootable XP which is the same Service Pack as your installed Service Pack? (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  • On startup, I get this message that says «Office Agent has stopped working - Windows 7»

    At startup I get this message that says "Desktop Agent stopped working" apparently this has something to do with the link of the century. What this mean and how can I solve this problem?

    Original title: program compatibility Application Applications App Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang hangs

    Hi Donna Lewis.

    'Set Office agent' If you look closely at the error, it will say something about the port officer at Qwest. This agent is like the update of the installer of Qwest.

    Try this...

    (a) click the Start button, in the start search box, type msconfig and press the Enter key

    (b) click on the Startup tab and scroll down until you find Desktop Agent sandbox.

    (c) clear the disable check box and click on OK.

     

    Just delete the Qwest Installer through Control Panel and you should be good to go.

     

    Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, please after return. We will be happy to help you.

  • I get a message that says that I must allow the computer when you try to download music purchased at the newly bought laptop.

    Original title: iTunes Question

    I recently bought a new Windows 7 laptop and downloaded iTunes. I have hundreds of songs already purchased and need to download on this computer... when I access my account and then click on download, I get a message that says that I must allow the computer. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Thank you!

    You can check with Apple because they created iTunes.  Check the Apple Web site, I found the following FAQ on what you need to do to allow a new device:

    1. Open iTunes
    2. From the Store menu, choose authorize this computer.
    3. When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, and then click allow.

    Note: if you already allowed iTunes to another PC and that you no longer use this computer, you should have allowed him out before getting rid of it.  If you don't do this, you might consider off allowing all devices first, then allowing the new PC.

    When you try to send a file from a Web site, I get a message that doesn't say "none created a profile. Use mail icon in Control Panel.  I searched and can't find this icon.  Can you give me way better?

    You must set up your default email program to send on a Web site.  Go to control panel | Default programs and set your default e-mail program there.  If your e-mail program is web-based, then you probably can't use this feature (sends the Web site file), then you may need to copy the site, and then paste it into a new message and then send it.
