• Removed usb drivers Device Manager

  Hello

  I had a problem with the USB and Firewire connections on my HP XW8400 PC.  The system works under windows xp pro.  The problem I had was that some devices/readers etc were not noticed when I plugged the different Slots USB or firewire and others have been.  I have a dongle usb constantly on my system to run a publishing package that I use on a daily basis... I also have an attached Firewire/USB PCI card.  I use the rear firewire and slots of the editing software and hard drives USB and USB slots front is where I keep my dongle and I use the usb port and firewire for other devices such as readers, usk sticks, cameras etc etc.  As I say, things work well, other custom.  For those who don't to correctly connect the peripheral material Add Wizard would come upward, I press on to connect to the web to search for and then it they'd material device wzard found no drivers/solution/whatever.  Being that it is my main computer to work I didn't want to risk anything and so have put up with him for a long time.  However, these days, I need to get a camera connected to the said work stations and so made test after trying to install the software to factory for the camera via camera software CD and realizing that he did not always work.  I used Malware Bytes and it came with nothing and then AGV antivirus and it came wirth nothing.  Ok... So I thought that it MUST be something to do with the USB (and Firewire) themselves.

  I searched on google and it brought me to this microsoft support page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310575 I read through it and he said how to uninstall and re-install the usb via Device Manager drivers.  I went through the instructions and I have clicked on each of the usb devices in Device Manager and uninstalled.  Then I restarted my computer and when it said that it had detected new hardware everytime I clicked on the Hardware Wizard it now impossible to connect to the internet because one of the devices was my router to wide band.  GREAT!

  So, I spent half a day to find the original Windows CD and I reflected on the drive, but couldn't find anything to do with the USB drivers.

  I tried the last known good configuration and that was obviously after deleting files of drivers said Ihad closed and restarted a couple of times since then.

  I checked the system restore and that has been cut!

  If someone could please tell me how to install the said USB controller to ensure that I get the USB drivers installed?

  I'm guessing I now need to go through the window / each device and find the software CD and add the drivers, but I don't even know if I have half of the Conference on disarmament, or they just instantly connect via XP.  I certainly can't find anything for my router, which means I can't even on the web.

  And why has my material wizerd for usb and firewire devices summer miss me for so long?

  All advice appreciated.

  PS... Microsoft, don't you think not that 1 - it would be wise to let people know on the above mentioned page remove the usb drivers may well turn off your Internet so that the wizard doesn't work and you can visit his profile when you connect.  If she had said that I would never be deleted.  2. due to some software I use (Avid Media Composer) on the specially designed workstation, there are various conflicts that occur when the upgrade to Service Pack 3, so you stop the real users of microsoft products to have access to your DIFFICULTY IT thingymajig if they decide to stay on service pack 2.  Why make life so hard Micfrosoft?  I'm very careful with my systems.  I should have a choice of not having to be upgraded if it means he can endanger other packages, but I'll always freedom of basic set of tools and services that you offer.  I'm fed up.   The following, that I get computer is a MAC!

  You're right, that Windows XP has drivers for a large number of features built into the operating system.  Peripheral USB in particular are supposed to be 'plug and play' - you simply connect the device to the computer, it goes "Bong", and the device is recognized and installed.

  A "Repair Installation" window is supposed to leave all your applications and your data intact - but you will almost always see advice to backup everything that you care about the 'just in case '.

• questions about the exclamation points in a triangle in Device Manager

  I went to my device manager to see if there are problems in all areas of the computer, because when I try to log on to a Web site that normally allow me to access it, it gives me a 404 error message. So when I went to the Manager of devices the only thing that I could see and which was not fair has this exclamation point in triangle and it was yellow next to Teredo Tunneling Pseudo Interface. When I double clicked on it that's what he told me: "this device cannot start code 10". I checked because he had run a driver update solutions check on it and came back with her has been updated.

  We can help with your device error, but it will not fix the website.  A 404 message from the server, tell you that the Web page you have requested no longer exists (or has never existed).  Nothing you can do can correct an error 404 - only Web site builders can fix it.

  On your device, the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo Interface you mentioned is an interface to communicate on different versions of the TCP/IP protocol.  You can learn more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling

• No USB in Device Manager.

  First of all, this problem started when I tried to add a USB for my IPOD. After that, I couldn't access a windows login.

  restarted > bios > compatible USB > windows will not start.

  But windows started if I disabled the USB controller in the BIOS. Help, please. Thank you.

  Hi hfilty,

  This would happen if the BIOS is outdated.

  I suggest that you update drivers for chipsets and system input/output (BIOS) basis by visiting the manufacturer of the computer.

• Microsoft 6to #2 is not displayed in Device Manager

• Bus SM driver and USB Ports can Point of Yellow Exclamation

  H8-1020 Desktop

  Windows 7, 64-bit

  Looked in Device Manager and that's what I see:

  Bus SM driver with yellow exclamation point

  The USB drive letter even have

  Looked at the HP website for the Chipset drivers and only saw the BIOS drivers.  Tried this update.  No change.

  A run DXDIAG.  Don't see where USB or SM Bus drivers are listed.

  Note the system has a discreet graphics card.

  Other suggestions?

  Thanks to all the proposals.  But good ' ol Google saved the day.  I googled "hpe sm bus controller driver update" and it adds Windows 7.  One of the HP forum reply recently was to go to the Intel download page and download the Intel chipset drivers.  Did.  Exclamation point is more ugly next to the SM Bus controller.

  Don't you think that it would be under the drivers for the MOBO or BIOS?  Or Chipset drivers?

  The audio device is another problem.  Looks like the sound card has a dead chip.  Installed a new card his discreet and now music to my ears.

  (Historical note: it all started when the original Pegatron Carmel mother died.)  Ordered a new one on ebay (same model and revision).  If I had the Intel chipset first, I wouldn't have had to wipe and re-install the operating system.

  Thanks again.   I always learn a lot!

• Satellite U300 - point of yellow exclamation on the Base system device

  I have a Satellite U300 PSU30E Windows XP, SP3.

  After installing iTunes version 8 and after I rebooted, I get a popup that a new device has been added.
  The "device wizzard" fails to locate the appropriate drivers and I get relevant messages that the appliance could not install and so on. ""
  The system seems to work very well.

  In Device Manager I see that, under the family of controllers IDE ATA/ATAPI devices, I have a yellow exclamation mark next to "Base system device". All devices IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers tree appear in good condition. The family tree of device is:

  -IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
  --- (!) Base system device
  -Intel 8280 1HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller
  -Intel(r) ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 2850
  -Main channel IDE
  -Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller
  -Ricoh xD - Picture card controller
  -Secondary IDE channel

  The machine seems not disabled on any topic, but I get the 'new device' message every time I start up as well as the routine "cannot install device.

  No idea what kind of device is that 'base system device' in the family of the IDE controllers?
  I reinstalled the drivers of Intel chipset to no change in the status of the device.

  Thank you very much!

  What happens if you remove iTunes8?
  You have the same problem after that?

  It is really strange, but maybe it has something to do with the upper and lower filters. The point is that if you install the CD/DVD software, they install filters in the registry that can cause compatibility problems.
  So follow this work around and post your result:

• Minor problem with the New Installation of Windows 7 on my Inspiron E1705/9400 - two entries for "Base system device" under "Other devices" with yellow exclamation point

  Hello

  First of all, let me tell you about my system.   It is of a laptop Inspiron E1705/9400 with the Core 2 Duo T7400 processor clocked at 2.16 GHZ.   It has 2 GB of RAM and a hard drive on the Hitachi Travelstar nine 500 GB (7200 RPM).   It also has the GeForce Go 7900 GS video card.    Previously, it had Windows XP Professional (32 bit) and worked well.   But, I have three computers in my home and Home Office and would they work better together on my wired home network, so I'm upgrading all three to Windows 7.   My two desktops (a Dimension XPS 420 and the other Dimension XPS 430) seem like they will be no problem to upgrade to Windows 7.   But, this laptop was not on the list of Dell Windows 7 compatibility.   However, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor that I have downloaded and run seemed to say that it was OK to do a clean install of Windows 7 32-bit and he had only a few minor issues, where it says search the drivers updated from the manufacturer.   Initially, the laptop came with a 100 GB hard drive.   For my use, which becomes very small, so I decided to get the exact same 7200 RPM drive 500 GB size.   This will allow me to do a clean install of the 32 bit Windows 7 OS on the new hard drive and not have to wipe the old disk to do so.   I can just keep the old HD and paste it back whenever I need to get something out of it.

  So, here's my minor problem.   After the transfer of some elements off the coast of the old hard drive, I installed the new 500 GB drive and installed a cleaning of the 32-bit version of Windows 7.    I'm happy to announce that I have not had virtually no problems with installation and everything seems to work fine.   He seems a little more zippy than before and I have not met so far that doesn't seem to work.   I went through most of features and almost everything is superb.   But there is a minor problem, showing in Device Manager.   At least, I think it's a minor problem, but maybe someone can give me feedback to know if she is or not.

  In the Device Manager list, there is a category called "other devices" now and the icon shows a little white circle with an exclamation mark.    When you expand this category, you see two identical entries that say "Base system device" and the icon has a yellow circle with an exclamation mark inside.     I know from experience that it is not a good thing to see items in the device manager that have a yellow circle with an exclamation point.   I clicked on both of them and neither one really tells you what the device is, or who did what is site you would go to a driver.    On the general tab, it has the following information:

  -Device type Other devices

  Reference of the manufacturer- Unknown

                       Location     -         Bus PCI 3, device 1, function 3

  
  

  Under device status, it says the following:

                         The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

  There is no driver selected for the item or a set of device information

  To find a driver for this device, click Update driver.

  Each of the entries seem to be almost the same thing... but not exactly.   The other has the location

  list PCI Bus 3, device 1, function 2... instead of function 1.   This seems to be the only difference.

  I tried the button to update the driver, but that doesn't seem to work.   No matter if you say it looks like your

  computer or to look for a new driver from the internet, it does not find anything.     As I said at the beginning,

  the system seems to work very well... but, given that I don't know what this device is or does, I might be missing something.

  He drives me crazy just have these yellow circles with exclamation point hanging out in my device manager.

  I could really use some help here.    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Bryan Ray (Richmond, WILL)

  BTW, I just downloaded and installed the driver pack from this ftp location and it worked, even for Windows 8.1 - 64 bit.

  Thanks Steve!

• USB stick not recognized by Device Manager

  I have a USB drive which worked in my Vista SP2 machine for 2 years until I took it.  I tried to run recently.  Even if the machine recognizes the connection and the removal of the disc with the bong audio, it does not appear in my computer, in the Manager device (like a USB Mass Storage Device - hidden or otherwise) or in the management of Computer Management(for doing fdisk/format functions) disk.   When I insert or remove the disc, the lists of USB in Device Manager do not seem to change.

  I tried to delete infcache.1, but in vain.

  The player with the same cables and the power supply, is recoqnized and works with other systems my Vista SP2 and SP3 of XP so I can exclude it as does not.

  Dig dig into that.  The pilots were to be reloaded, I noticed there is a USB 2.0 mass storage device listed while Vista searched through the database driver.  As soon as it is loaded, the name was changed to Cypress AT2LP (chip Cypress is the controller of housing) and the drive has disappeared.  Did a search for this and it seems that it is a problem running under Vista (drive works forever and then one day things change after an update to Vista).  Rename the driver (CYUSB.sys) and then reboot didn't help.

  I took the car to the most recent machine Vista and noted that the pilot has been there for a (USBSTOR Generic USB mass storage device. (SYS).  The drive works now.   Not sure where this storage of Cypress driver came (I certainly didn't not using it), but that was the problem.

• Disable "HP Smart Intall" for USB storage devices

  Details

  OS: Windows 7 x 64

  Laptop: HP Probook s 4540

  Printer: HP P1600

  After using an HP printer to my work and have installed the drivers "HP Smart Install" has been installed in a form any driver (?) USB.

  The option to double click default to any storage device that is inserted into a USB port is now 'HP Smart Install ". I can't remove this function.

  I deleted all the drivers for the USB via Device Manager - this has not fixed the problem.

  I reformatted the USB (was not empty in the first place - no autoplay files)-no solution.

  I returned all the default media - no fix AutoPlay options.

  I used SIUtility.exe HP printer drivers and used PC > disable HP Smart Install - no solution.

  I completely uninstalled all the computer - no fix HP printer drivers.

  This is a screenshot of the feature that I start to remove - http://i.imgur.com/v1IcdZ0.png

  Can you please advise how do I completely remove this feature as default double click for a storage device is to "explore".

  AngusMacsalvation,

  Sorry that it was not an option to turn off the Smart Install from the integrated Web server.

  I was check this.

  Make sure that you run the CD files or program uninstall.

  In this way, it must delete all the registry files.

  Make sure that the USB cable from the printer is disconnected.

  Here are the steps to run the uninstall of the computer or the CD.

  To uninstall program files:
  Go to start and select a computer.
  Select the C drive.
  Select the program files or program files x 86.
  Open the HP name and printer folder.
  Select uninstall.

  Uninstall from the CD:
  Go start, computer, right click on the CD for the printer, left click Open in a new window, double click on uninstall.

  Remove drivers in server properties, if they are still worn.

  Go to start, devices and printers.
  Highlight any printer.
  Click the print server properties in the upper part.

  Click the tab drivers at the top of the print server properties window.

  Choose the printer that you want to uninstall, and then click on remove.

  The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that the removal of the driver package will remove it from the system. Click Yes to say that you are sure you want to do.

  Then in the window devices and printers, right click on your printer and remove the device if the printer is still listed.

  If the printer doesn't figure yet in the Device Manager or in the registry, we would delete there also.

  Keep me posted.

• Device Manager shows no device, is empty

  My 8200 Dell under XP Professional SP3 shows not all devices in Device Manager.  I think that it started very recently when I was installing TM Internet Security after the removal of Norton Anti Virus 2009.  Eventually after using Norton Removal Tool. It doesn't show the devices safe.  Plug and Play is on.  I recently installed an old HP DeskJet 820Cse printer using existing drivers.  I do not think that article 953979 applies since it just (seem), took place but it seems to fit the description.  Any help is appreciated.

  There is a Microsoft 953979 patch that works, but it didn't on mine, I then found this articale and followed the instructions and it worked.

  (1) logged as an administrator;
  (2) Regedit > HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\ENUM.
  (3) right clicked Enum and gives right to the system and administrators full control.
  (4) clicked the button Options at the bottom of the window.
  (5) on the Advanced window checked 'reset permissions on all child objects... ". »
  (6) the deleted Enum key. Error message: error while deleting key. I had to remove this key twice because initially, it appeared the remains of Enum key. After that, the locked ENUM\ROOT\LEGACY_SSDPSRV who already had a lot of weird symbols example $% &' () * +-, etc., now gone. Registry shows an own ENUM\ROOT subkey.
  (7) PC rebooted and back connected to Windows;
  (8) window of the Device Manager showed some yellow exclamation not to mention that some devices not recognized, then refreshed a few times showing successively less then not many of these features.
  (9) PC rebooted again;
  (10) message screen saying according to Windows has finished installing new devices, and the computer must be restarted before the new settings take effect.
  11) Yes to restart the computer

  Now the Device Manager window is full and all devices running again!

  This solution works for my situation. I hope this helps someone.

• I use a Belkin USB wireless adapter. In Device Manager, I see this same adapter listed several times... with a yellow exclamation mark over it. However, an entry for this card will not have any problems indicated and work well.

  I think that whenever this USB adapter is removed and reinstalled, the system is seen as a new USB device.  However, if I try to uninstall the list in Device Manager showing a yellow exclamation point, the system will not... I get a message saying "Uninstall failed...". This device may be required for the system startup.
  Suggestion?

  I have checked these forums and I would like to give a big thanks to Jack Black, who advised a link to download Intel Wlan page, this solved my problem-driver Wlan driver was NOT available in the toshiba download page. I REQUIRED the PRO2000 INTEL "DRIVER XP 32 / 2000. Thank you once again, Jack.

  I have a problem with the Base system, Usb controller and Ethernet controller, although the USB devices on the right side of the unit work. These items are listed in the other devices category in Device Manager with the black-yellow exclamation next to them.

  I worked my way through all the LAN DRIVERS from the toshiba download page, can't installed ethernet.
  Similarly, the base system - I tried sd card download (suggested to this support page) and other downloads.
  Nobody knows for certain what the base system is?
  ANYONE KNOW WHAT DRIVERS I NEED OR WHERE TO GET THEM?

  haven't looked at the usb part again as I try to run internet facilities and you need fixed ethernet controller.
  I looked at the guide suggested to install the drivers, but only after I had tried to disentangle the display and utilities toshiba sound etc.
  An OTHER devices I have work at the INFRA RED using the driver - smc - fast irc or similar fom toshiba page.
