Agggggghhhhh!

I keep getting this message "USB Device not Recognized" The only device plugged in is my wireless mouse and it is working fine. I tried a wired mouse and another wireless mouse, same thing. I tried moving them to different ports and it keeps showing the same port as the one with the bad device. I rebooted, no change. The notification is getting annoying. Any way to shut off the notification? Running W7.

Sledge hammer will work to shut it off. I know what you mean Rusty, I'm the most frustrated SOB when it comes to computers.

I could shoot it but with my luck I would miss and hit the TV.

Let me know how you make out .

 

[Floorist]

Thanks Nick. I will try.

Welcome . I would just Go into device manager and remove all USB stuff, and only then reboot.That should clear up that mess.

Make sure to unplug it for a few minutes before you reboot . This will clear the issue off the micro processor on the motherboard . When you reboot it will reinstall the drivers for the ports .

Strange, after being on there for days, it disappeared.

 

[Nick]

Sometimes that happens . Go through the steps in previous post anyway.

It will be a few days. I am not home and didn't bring that laptop with me.

 

[Floorist]

Tried all the suggestions and none worked.

 

[Nick]

What OS are you running ?

 

[Floorist]

W 7..

 

[Nick]

Will try and find a fix for you tomorrow Floorist.

 

[Nick]

Does the device work on a different port ?

We may be dealing with a bad USB drive .

What brand of confuser ? Laptop, or Desktop ?

 

[Floorist]

Dell laptop. The only device connected is my wireless mouse which is working fine. No matter which port I put it in, the original port shows as having the bad device even when nothing is plugged into it. I assume it's a hardware problem. Everything works fine, but the constant notification is just annoying. The mouse works fine when connected to the supposed bad port. I have tried two different wireless mice and one wired mouse and it is the same result.

Hammer time . Bad port .

I probably will just wait until it quits working.
