Hp pavillion start up problem

Try to uninstall the driver for the usb mouse, reboot, and then install the compact mouse which connects to the rear of the machine.

you can purchase a usb device with TV outputs. look on ebay or purchase one from your local PC retail shop.

HI coltronics,

It sounds like your port that your using is bad. If it's a ps/2 port, you may want to get a ps/2 to usb adapter and try it that way. If it's a usb port, try another port. I've not seen to many usb ports going bad, but you never know.

Good Luck.

Hi,

Try updating BIOS and check and also try the reinstalling the USB roots hubs again

there have been alot of problems in the past with vista not all external components are compatible with this program.i had the same problem with vista so i got rid of vista and started using windows xp home edition since then i have never had a problem with it not recognising any device i have added to my computer.i hope this helps.

They are right, some DVs have this problem. If you can live without the ports, then do it. If you can't, replacement is the only option.

Go to the HP support for this PC at http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html and search for your laptop.  Here you can download the USB drivers or any updated drivers that you may need.  If still no dice, then uninstall the USB driver, restart and try loading it again from the download.

dude usb 2.0 was released way back... i believe the necessary drivers have not been installed... you better go to device manager and try updating the drivers... it would have option to check online... post here if u need more help...

Open the machine up disconnect the HD and reconnect it again.
Hope that works otherwise your HD is broken

theres an over power voltage going to the usb ports look if any of the usb ports are bent otherwise try a pcmcia usb card
