Unrecognized usb devices

Vista is your problem. Solution...buy an inexpensive card reader to download your pics to a folder you create on your desktop. From there, you can send the pics to your photo editing software.

Do you allready try in other computers?
Turn off your antivirus, and try to connect
its your computer usb 2.0 (when u connect mp3 player to your pc show something like This device works better in a 2.0 usb port?)
Some times a non original version of Xp dont really works good whit usb devices as digital cameras, usb flash memories, cell phones, and all in one printers (extraible disk drives); In This case try first in other machine if this works reformat your machine o if you got the restauration cds used in your pc

Check out if the USB ports are 1.1 or 2.0
Your computer may use 1.1 and not see the newer 2.0

Hi,
Windows XP has Drivers within the operating system to Install and setup USB Ports.
Here Are your options to Provide A Fix.
1: )The USB Port May Be Disconnected From The motherboard.
2:) The Device you are trying to Connect ( Pen-Drive ) May be faulty And Not Recognised By The Computer.

3:) The USB Cable Or Socket May Be Faulty.

Solution:- Try Connecting the Device To An Alternative ( different ) USB Socket On The PC.

Solution:- Try Connecting a Different Device to the USB Port. i.e MP3 player Or Digital Camera et,c.

Solution:- Check that the USB Header Cables ( from Motherboard To USB Ports ) Are connected Or incorrectly Connected.

Check whether the software CD you received with the camera, support the Win XP OS. In case it doesn't, go to the Canon web site and download the relevant drivers for you camera and OS. Good luck!

if this is your first attempt ever at this particular MP3 and pc link, is it possible the dell device is a USB 2.0 required port while your pc is limited to USB 1.0?
