How to I get to look at driver updates as mentioned in previous posts to see if that is the problem? I bought this laptop to assist in a job search because my old one kept freezing up part-way through on-line job applications, but I'm very disappointed that Windows 7 is making most of my previous applications and gizmos obsolete!
It's also preposterous to think that I have the most advanced operating system for Windows, on a bit machine, and the only solution is to take the battery out for 15 mintues to see if that works!!! Maybe next you'll tell me to put it on the floor and give it kick or two? Or twist some tin foil on the mouse cable?
Seeing similar issue on my desktop machine running Win7 bit. Inserting the mouse into other machine works fine also other Win7 bit machines so it is not a hardware issue with the mouse nor the desktop as lots of other devices are connected through the USB hub. I've just recovered from a no-mouse situation by unpluging the powercord and removing the battery I do not understand why this happens.
The mouse does not work, but a pen works when plugged to that same USB port. Pathetic it is, but the fact still remains that the mouse does not work. The solution was provided by Mark[MFST] in his posting near the top of this page: kill all the power supply, let the machine discharge internally, power the machine again.
Killing all the power supply means to disconnect from the mains, but also actually unplug the battery. Then wait a few minutes, so that all the internal electronics have time to discharge. I tried to help the discharging by keeping the "power on" button pressed, and at the same time connecting and disconnecting the mouse in all the USB connectors, but I don't know if I was just being naif In his posting, Mark also suggests that the USB root hubs be uninstalled, if needed be.
They will be reinstalled when the machine reboots. In my case, this was not necessary, the "Kill All Power Supply" did the trick. Like they responded in the other replies, i had same exact problem did the battery thing were you take it out and put it back in and it worked amazingly, i have tried absolutely everything there is, from installing and uninstalling drivers, full factory image restore, buying new mice and still did not worked.
I thought that the battery thing was retarded and would not worked, but i said lets give it a try , it only takes couple seconds to take the battery out and snap it back in, amazingly my mouse works again.
I have tried another mouse same problem. What makes matters worse, I was using skype to video chat with my son while he was in Sydney, Austraila. If anyone fines a fix, please let me know. Interesting, I am running a Vaio notebook running Win 64bit using a Logitech laser mouse, and it does work fine on any other pc. I've borrowed another Logitech Laser mouse and I have the same problem, it does not work.
The mouse and webcam stopped working last night. When this happened non of the USB ports worked and nor did the fingerprint device. After unplugging from power, removing the battery and then put all back in and startup it started to install the fingerprint driver and all bluetooth related drivers. After that all worked again. Does Microsoft expect every Windows 7 user in the world to pull out the battery, wait for mins and resume work?
Here my problems. I bought a Dell U and the internal hub gets properly recognized by my laptop Windows 7 64Bit and my fedora 13 server. No my keyboard cheap Saitek isn't regognizes anymore. I bought a new one a wireless Logitech MK including mouse. No way to get is properly installed. Outside of Windwos during startup my mouse and keyboard work like a charme.
Then after up to 5 Minutes after windwos failed to install drivers standard drivers should work with those components neither the keyboard nor the mouse work anymore.
When I then plug in my mini traveller trust mouse also a usb device it works, just like all of my external usb sticks and harddisks As I said m other Windows 7 installation on my laptop regognizes all devices properly. Fedora too. I hope there's somebody around who has an idea how to refresh or clean certain parts of windows without the need of a reinstall.
Right now I'm only able to work remotely on my machine. Beeing a freelancing consultant I can only say all the trys are getting quite expensive right now. Yes, the Dell machine isn't the problem its my zotac minitix pc. I develop critical applications and I used several usb devices with it. Mouse, Keyboard, Camera, Touchpad, mp3 player, drawing board, webcam, printer, I didn't have to install any drivers on the other pcs and laptops.
And even if I do, And even if it would be related to third party drivers, then Windows should not constantly warn with the "USB Device Not Recognized" message.
Normally when such message occurs it only happens once and stops when you disconnect the device. In this situation it keeps on complaining even when the device is disconnect and even when you have disabled the problem item in the device management list.
You should also see those devices which cause problems. Here you have to open the "Hardware"-Tab. Open "Settings". Go to "Change Settings". Then open "Driver"-Tab. Then proceed. It tells you something about the origin of the driver and that it might be unsecure to install it.
Proceed with "Yes, I want to install", I'm really wondering why Windows just gives you that information on the driver with this kind of driver reinstall process Maybe Microsoft shall sign it's own drivers! The keyboard I used doesn't need no additonal drivers and I never installed any. It's the standard driver provided by windows which caused that problem It's not the first time I had trouble with this.
But in this case it was much harder than before. Previousely Windwos just complaint if I was sure to use that driver and installed it properly afterwards. Thanks for the tip! I used the filechecker already and I also did sfc scannow, It could also be a problem with not properly installed updates, or uninstalled drivers. I whish there was some kind of "clean-up-Windows" function, which refreshes the system in some kind.
Repairing Windows often doesn't work and sometimes leads to the need to reinstall applications and that's quite hard with development environments It would be fine if the installation of driver would work the same with both ways. One via the hardware manager and the other way via the hardware properties. It's hard for users to find out that there's a difference. Windwos is one amorphous system it is definitely hard to maintain such a beast, In 8 years we might have a merely untouchable system and linux might be a much better choice for standard users Please power off the machine, disconnect the mouse, pull the battery, and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
Then connect everything up again and see if you still have this issue. The first time I had the "USB device not recognized The second time the battery trick worked for about only one month. Now I am having this problem randomly, sometimes, as frequent as a couple of days. Some poeple posted cases in other forums caused by damaged USB ports on the computer or the plug for the mouse, I chekced mine they don't look like being damaged.
It gets really frustrating. Now for 3 days it stoped total to work. I also bought a new laptop Asus P52F serie with windows 7 64 bit. The usb mouse is not detected.
I tested the mouse on other laptops and there it's working fine. I did the thing with the battery and removing usb hubs on the Asus laptop but that did not help for me. Strange enought the mouse is working in the bios. USB legasy is enabled. When Windows starts loading the mous stops working and is not detected in windows device manager. When i boot the laptop connected with the usb mouse the lights are on.
When the laptop is turned on and then connect the USB mouse the lights will not turn on :S. Like you adviced; power off, take out battery, wait 15min and restart; Not only made my usb ports agian, but also my blue tooth is working again now!!! My question is tho; so is there a permenant fix for this issue or we just have to discharge the battery every once in a while? I remember hearing this advice along time ago somewhere I must say. My page on Video Card Problems is now my most popular landing page.
See my gaming site for game reviews etc. A customer gave me the Dell Inspiron with complaint of screen black no cursor using Windows Vista on bit machine. After a long series of tests, and connecting the hard drive to my own machine to verify that the disk itself is not faulty, I backed up her important files and scanned them for virus and malware.
Satisfied it was clean, the disk was reformatted using Dell's recovery disks. After restoring to Vista, I upgraded it to Windows 64 Ultimate. All went well and customer was happy until she plugged in her wireless Microsoft usb mouse, and the computer went back to an unusable state- black screen no cursor. Booting into Safe Mode, running Repair Utility gave no result, and she recalls that issues began with errors from the USB port, not only from the mouse but from an external camera.
Is this a USB issue on the motherboard? If so, I am recommending a different machine, as I truly dislike Dell with its proprietary issues, and do not plan to keep repairing the same issue. BUT, nothing is working I've been having the same problem with my brand new HP computer not recognizing my HP printer only a year old. I had uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, the drivers, changed USB cables, and more.
I am going to try the unplug thing tonight. I've been working on this issue for almost two weeks and have two days left in which to return the computer. Several of you have talkeda about removing the battery, so I assume you're all on laptops. I have a desktop so is there anything I should do besides just unplug from the power source and wait 30 minutes? This is some microsoft issue for sure! MS team plz plz plz get on it! I reinstalled windows. It worked for a whilee.
After the windows updates, it stopped working! Install and works. For some reason it bypasses the windows drivers. It will show a list. Right click that and. USB device unrecognised.
No mouse works on any port. The mousepad thingy on the laptop itself was fine but i really dislike using it. I got the answer in this forum When I started reading this thread, I was rather skeptical about the suggestion to remove the laptop battery, I had already re-booted twice, changed the AA batteries in the mouse, downloaded software from Logitech and installed, got out two old USB corded mice that didn't work which do work fine on my wife's iMac, so I was about at my wits end.
I do have a Sony Vaio, so when I read your post I figured I wouldn't have anything to lose by removing the battery, and sure enough as soon as it booted up, it recognized all my mice again, no problems! Yes it works but only for awhile And having to shut down, pull the battery etc. There has to be a better fix then having to stop what I'm doing and shut everything down whenever it happens! There are some very good ideas here, but if they all fail, and especially if you have a laptop, and the one im trying to fix gets pretty hot, you may want to consider that the Chipset has gone.
Thermal expantion and contraction have probably caused the soldering under the chipset to crack or detach.
You could fix that if you were to reball the Chipset to the motherboard I too have this same problem on my Dell Inspiron laptop computer. First my Ipod wasn't getting recognized, than external hard drive, than mouse, than, thumb drive. I have tried some registry fixes, I have restarted a billion times. I tried restore points. I have NOT tried pulling the battery but I will tonight. For now if I turn on the computer I have about minutes where my device is recognized but then it stops and pretends it can't find it anymore.
This is a step up from when it stop recognizing things completely all the time. I personally think this is a windows 7 error. If pulling the battery doesn't work along with reinstalling drivers I will try re-installing windows 7. If that doesn't work I'm going to try to "up? After that I'm never buying Microsoft again, on to Apple, this is ridiculous that there is no easy solution. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Sign in. United States English. See if your drive is here. Sometimes, it will be marked as Removable.
If it does not contain any partition, you still can see an unallocated space. Step 2. Try the following solutions if your drive does not appear in Disk Management. Do not use USB hubs. The USB hub does not supply enough power for your drive. You should directly connect the drive to USB port.
Plug flash drive into different computers. Create a new simple volume with Disk Management if your drive is marked as an unallocated space. You can right-click the unallocated space, select New Simple Volume from its context menu and follow the instructions on the wizard to finish the pending steps.
You can right-click the drive, select Format from the list and then select file system and hit OK to start the process. Clean the drive with Diskpart if you can see the drive but cannot format it in Disk Management.
This may be caused by a messy partition scheme on the drive. With it, you can format partition without any obstacle. A USB hub may not have enough power to process the device. If the device features an external power source, the hub may need to be replaced. If your computer is not able to recognize the USB device in its current port, you can try another port on your computer or try it on another computer. Plug-in your device into another port will cause Windows to attempt to initiate the installation process.
If your computer is not able to recognize the device, try plugging the USB flash disk into another computer to ensure the device is not corrupted. USB ports that are part of a group will share one power source.
You will see a list of connected devices. Restart your computer and attempt to reinstall the USB flash disk and its drivers.
Your device may show an exclamation point next to it indicating that the installation process of the drivers has failed. Attempt to reinstall the drivers to your device once the corrupt driver is uninstalled and your computer has been restarted. Disk Manager is a diagnostic tool in Windows that monitors the activity of all connected storage solutions. The diagnostic tool will open in a new window showing a list of drives.
Look for your USB flash disk to see if it appears and check for the following signs. If it does not appear in either, this may indicate a problem with the USB port. Check the partition status next to your USB flash disk. If its status does not show healthy and with a drive letter, this shows signs of corruption on the flash disk and will need to be repaired or formatted. Repair the USB flash disk. Method 2.
Read the instructions that came with the device. It may feature a specific directions to follow before plugging in your device for the first time. Install the USB flash disk. Windows will notify you on the next steps to complete in order for the USB flash disk to operate normally. Windows will show you in the notifications area of your taskbar when the installation has completed. Install the drivers from an included disk. If your device came with a disk, insert the disk and follow the prompts Windows shows to install the drivers.
Search and download the drivers online. Run the driver software manually by opening the file from where it was downloaded to on your computer. Try to download the drivers onto your desktop to make it easier to locate the drivers. This method will provide the most up-to-date drivers available for your device.
This may be required if you face incompatibility with specific hardware or later revisions of Windows. My computer says that my USB needs to be formatted and cannot access the data on it.
