Re: My USB wireless device is no longer recognized
Hi, I have seen this type of thing B4, & it sounds to me as if your USB WiFi has gone faulty?
Really the ONLY way to check is to try another USB WiFi unit.

I have the same problem, my Sahara Notebook Image book's usb ports are all not recognizing any usb device i have tried to reistall the os but nothing happening, so what can i do coz the recovery disk was lost.
I have the same issue. I have 4 Simpletech Signature 250GB drives. They all worked fine at first. After about six months two of them started connecting at USB 1 speeds. It occurs on 4 different computers!!! The post about it being the computer assumes is wrong. How can it work fine for six months and then suddenly change. Also it occurs on different computers. I have submitted a tech support request with simpletech and will post the results.
If your System is in hybernation mode, don't remove any attached USB device, because it will damage your USB driver. This is one of the known problem from microsoft.
If you have to remove any USB device use 'Safely Remove Hardware'.
To remove currepted USB drivers its not enough to remove your printer drivers.
You should un-install the 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' from Device Manager.
Then re-boot to clean registry.
Install the 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' using XP Setup CD.
Then check the Mass storage, PDA etc, it should recognized by XP.
Then install printer driver (don't attach printer to system untill setup finish or setup says to connect).
I think it will fix. Please let me know your feed-back.
You did the update ver 1.1? This is suppose to fix the mounting and unmounting of external USB devices. Sounds like it never unmounted. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410updatev11intel.html
Seen this happen many times...it stems from a corruption of the plug and play drivers enumeration key in the registry...the fix is quite elusive...the key is cheap...pick a different brand to replace it with save yourself the grief of fighting this battle.
Hope that helps.
Well the fact that it says it can't load the device but sees it, is a pretty good sign actually...first off check the drivers for the device...
good luck
Go into the device manager, click on View > Show hidden devices.
Look under unknown devices or under USB for unknown devices. Also check under the section relating to the type of usb device.
If you find an Unknown Device, or a device with an exclamation point, right click on it and uninstall.
Disconnect the device, reboot and install the drivers/software for it if any.
If it's still not working check it in another computer.
If you cannot get it to work in either machine, the usb plug of the device is probably damaged. Possibly a loose solder joint.
Have the manufacturer send you a new one if its still under warranty.
