USB Port possible problem?

[garry1312]

Hi,

All the time now every time i connect a device to either USB port in my laptop it is coming up as if it is a new device when this is not the case and the devises have been installed before.

What is causing this?

Are you using extension cables on the USB device?

If yes, ry removing the extension cable & connect directly to the device.

If no, plug in the device & let it install the 'new device'. Goto
Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager & scroll down to Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Find the listing for the device & right click, uninstall the device, safely remove it from the lappy & restart the laptop.

Plug it in & see if it works after installing fresh drivers.
