Ever since I did a Windows repair from the CD, my computer no longer detects
USB storage (e.g. memory sticks). I have a TEAC multicard reader built-in to
the computer. And when I insert a card, the green light on the reader is on,
suggesting that at least the unit is powered.
I also have a built-in multi-card reader to my flat-bed HP printer, which
connects to the computer via a USB cable. But again, the reader no longer
"talks" to the computer (although the LCD display on the printer indicates
that a card is in the slot).
Finally, although some USB devices (e.g. Logitech webcam, Creative Jukebox
3) appear to be working, others are scantly recognized (e.g my Sony digital
camera), and I can't do anything about them. By this I mean that when I
connect my sony camera, the computer will indicated that a new device has
been connected, and a few seconds later, that the device is ready to use.
Yet in Explorer, under "Scanners and Camera" I do not see anything
whatsoever. This is frustrating at best. I reinstalled all the USB drivers,
to no avail. Please help before I throw my stupid Dell machine out the
window (it is barely three months old, but it has given me so much grief).
In anticipation of your help, many thanks. |

You may need to re-install the motherboard chipset drivers and USB filter
driver (if VIA chipset?)

How? How do I know what I have is a "VLA chipset"? When I open up the Device
Manager (within Control Panel, then System), under USB, this is what I see:
Universal Serial Bus controllers
Generic USB Hub
Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27C8
Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27C9
Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27CA
Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27CB
Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 27CC
Logitech USB Camera (Messenger)
USB Composite Device
USB Composite Device
USB Mass Storage Device
USB Root Hub
USB Root Hub
USB Root Hub
USB Root Hub
USB Root Hub
I don't know if this helps but I have a Dell XPS 400.
I downloaded the driver, and tried to reinstall (before I wrote my plea for
help), but to no avail. Could you please explain how to go about it? Thanks.

Hi Spencer,
I have been equally frustrated for the past 8 months with exactly the same
problem
as yours. The problem is not with the device-PARTITIONING & FORMATTING VIA
THE DISK MANAGER has been of no use. Chipset drivers reinstalled - no use. I
have used at least 10 devices(all flash-thumb drives, Sony, Samsung cameras).
Only iomega backup HDD and Zen drive is recognized by windows explorer. When
you open mycomputer-manage, it takes hours to get the display. I can change
drive letter and explore the device after another 15 minutes but only once
per session. If you remove and reattach, there is an error: device manager
could not laod. Similarly if I attach 2 USB devices the manager does not load
at all.
If the usb device is not connected, disk manager opens in 6 seconds. The
problem is not due to antivirus also(McAfee removed and then reinstalled). I
have tried all the available USB 4 ports. I have reinstalled SP2. I have
reached the upper limit of frustration. Now I have stopped using USB devices
in this desktop computer. THIS POST IS TO FIND OUT WHETHER YOU GOT THE
SOLUTION ? IF SO PLEASE DO LET US KNOW
