usb devices

Hi, Wether doing an Upgrade, or a Clean Install, they both freeze at the last step. By freeze, I mean frozen, mouse doesn't move, no dots moving, no motion on the screen. The screen is like a picture. I tried disabled USB devices through the BIOS, clean boots, copying the contents on to the...

I'm using Vonage Companion and I have a Skype phone plugged into a USB port. For some reason when WIN 7 goes to sleep it drops the drivers for the phone. So I unplug it and plug it back into the USB port and it would work fine. Later I found out I could go to the control panel. Click on Hardware...

Hello I understand that Wondows 7 Enterprise is more secure for business users, ie employees cannot use usb devices to download company secrets etc? I bought a USB modem so that I can connect to internet wirelessly outside, and it will not load, could this be related to the above? Thanks Ted

Just wondering if anyone has a solution or also experienced an issue with hibernate waking itself up. It used to be a bad problem when other PCs on the network were wakened, it would trigger the Windows 7 PC to wake every time. That doesn't seem to be an issue anymore, and it was fine for a...

My primary computer passed the readiness test for Windows 7 using the beta utility on the Microsoft site. The computer has a good running XP Pro installation on it on one of two available SATA drives. The second drive has 3 large empty partitions on it so I decided to install Win 7 build 7100...

Hi all I've been testing this-- if you want to have a go yourselves you can download at "The green devil". Look for "XPM". Remarks so far 1) Very nice Integration with W7 desktop. 2) The windows XP machine's virtual screen driver is based on "S3" and is only 16 bits -- not a real problem as...

All of a sudden my SRH icon stopped working. If I put the cursor over it, it says "Safe To Remove Hardware", but it never opens up. I have a internally connected multi-card-reader that should and did show up, but now doesn't (they show up under my computer). When I shut down though, it does...
