usb devices

I have a multi card reader which works fine in other Operating systems(xp & ubuntu) but for some reason win.7 turns off just before the system loads. I contacted the chip manuf.(alcor) to try & get firmware update or driver but was told none was needed. It doesn't show up anywhere so the system...

Hi all, Preamble This is my first post so I thought I would start with a simple little problem first. I am running W7 x64 on the following platform: Intel desktop Board (DG31PR) Intel Core 2 duo 2.33MHz 3GB ram (2 modules 1gb & 2Gb running dual channel) 500GB Western Digital...

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 there, New to Windows 7 and these fora, just hoping someone could help me out with my annoying crash problem. I recently installed Windows 7 RC (clean install, empty partition), but whenever I shutdown or restart, after installing updates and the "Shutting down..." screen it crashes to a...

I'm trying to install windows 7 release candidate (build 7100) x86 on a machine that was previously running windows vista home premium x86 with no problems at all. The entire setup goes nice and smooth until I get to the "Completing installation" part, then it just hangs there. I've left it...

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...

Just completed a new build and booted from Vista 64 Home premium. Get through the black screen where it has a progress bar stating loading windows files. Next screen is the Microsoft icon screen. It then loads to a Blue/Green screen, the DVD activity stops, my cursor appears but the system just...

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...

Hey! I'm new here and just installed Windows 7 today! It looks great and functions really well, but I have a big problem that if I don't solve it I have to install Vista again. The problem is that all the USB inputs on the computer aren't working ... I can't use my mouse I can't use anything...

Hi guys, I am trying to move to Windows Vista from Ubuntu (don't know if that should matter) and when I load the boot DVD I get the first installation page with what language to select and other beginning specifications. However I cannot use my keyboard or my mouse AT ALL. It's like there is...

A conflict between my ipod (and every other new USB devices) pushed me in the direction of a dirty re-install of Windows Vista on my Dell XPS M1210 laptop. The re-install worked per-se as my brand new ipod now syncs fine and all USB devices (new and old) work like a champ… on the...

Hi I'm having a weird sort of problem. Whenever I plug in a USB device like a mouse or USB flash drive, Windows Vista claims that it cannot find drivers for it!! I have to specify to look in the c:\windows\system32 folder (inc. sub dir) to find the Windows drivers and it will eventually install...
