Whenever I use one of my USB ports, afterwards I get an error that lasts all the time that says USB device not recognized. I have gotten rid of it before with the help of techs, but then when I go back and use it again, that error pops up. The usb ports work, I use it to download pictures and other things, but I cannot get the error gone. Someone suggested I unplug the internet completely for a few minutes and it would reset itself, but that didn't work. I put the media card usb back into the port and went to where it says it is safe to remove hardware and then took it out, but that didn't work either. Any other ideas? Thanks.
 
Solution
If your USB drivers are working correctly, when you plug a device in, Windows will normally go find a driver or give you a message about how the driver could not be found/installed.

I would trying using Device Manager to remove the device (it needs to be plugged in). Then Windows should find it again and you can start over. I will have to assume the errant device is not shown in device manager if the USB device is unplugged?

You might get us a picture of your device manager with the errant device showing and expand your USB section so we can see it. Use the snipping tool and attach using the paperclip on the advanced reply.

OK, I found my specs, I found under my profile where they are supposed to go, but can't get them there. It said customize, but they all say N/A by them and I can't change them. There is no edit that I could see. I looked around. I wonder why these aren't like the other forums
Per the next message, I found out how to change them

Ok, I found out how to do it, but my profile does not have the same wording as speccy, and I honestly don't know what is what. Like when it asks for speed of computer, I don't know which one of the specs indicates speed.

Just to throw a monkey wrench into this usb problem. My usb does not work with a media card, but does with a media card reader. I have two media card readers and it works with one, not the other. Also the cord for my camera and electronic organizer works in the usb also.
