norman Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 is the USB root HUB driver properly installed? Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Sometimes you have to install drivers first, then plug in the device. If you did it otherwise, Windows won't find the driver for the device even if its there - it just won't match between them. So, what you need to do is the following: 0. Unplug the devices 1. Uninstall the USB drivers (many driver installation utilities have "Uninstall" option) 2. Reboot (for safety) 3. Install the USB drivers for those devices 4. Plug the device in. If this is the course of action - problem will be solved. Another thing which is probable: USB 2.0 issue - probably your devices can't work on USB 2.0 ports?

norman Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Is the device powered from the USB or on board? Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
