Windows 7 Understanding the "USB Token" Error in Device Manager: Causes and Solutions

[ryguy]

in my computer management window there is a "USB Token" under "Other devices" and it has an exclamation point beside it.

What is going on? What is a USB token and why is it not working?

Hi and welcome to the forums.


According to Wiktionary, usb token is a user identity credential that one can connect to a standard computer interface such as a USB jack; often used in addition to or instead of a password.


If you see it in windows device manager, right click it to choose to install the driver and navigate to your smart card support CD.
