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.

SOURCE: My device is no loner recognized

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.

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

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.

My MX1100 cordless mouse no longer recognized

It sounds like the Drivers for the Mouse aren't be installed. Since it is a wireless mouse and receiver it will need separate drivers to function properly. If it came with a CD I would try re-installing any software that came on the disc. If not (I'm assuming its a Logitech Mouse here) I would visit the Logitech website (www.logitech.com) and see if you can locate Drivers there.

Have a look at this link
http://windowsfixup.com/2009/03/usb-device-not-recognized-fixes/

"Delete the INFCACHE" has worked for me in the past.

Also I found that I was using a non USB 2.0 cable which caused the "unrecognized USB" problem. Once I used a proper USB 2.0 cable it was fine.

Hope that helps.

USB port problems with hp printer

There are few things to remember using USB.

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.

Thanks
Iqbal
