USB Not Recognizing New Hardware + Mouse Inactive?
Aug 23, 2012
Very recently my wireless USB mouse has stopped working on my Windows 7 (Dell Studio XPS1640) laptop.>Unplugging and plugging it back in does not work, but restarting does, until it mysteriously conks out again>Mouse does work on other computers in the home>No other usb devices are recognized by the PC (leading me to think it has nothing to do with the mouse and everything to do with USB controller suddenly deciding it doesn't like hardware)>USB slots on computer still have power, I can run my notebook cooler through the USB with no issues.Unsure if formatting helped. Windows had a lot of clutter and some weird quirks, so I formatted this morning. No troubles with reinstall, everything should be fully updated now, thought my problems were over but the mouse just conked again.
DEVICE MANAGERDevice manager, when the problem happens, flags two areas under USB controllers:Intel ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2934Intel ICH9 Family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 293A>Both of them give the error "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)">Windows thinks these drivers are up to date (date 06/21/2006)VENT VIEWERNothing jumps out at me. All the errors I see are network related.
I firts used a usb corless mouse and keyboard. But it didn't work correctly.So I went to a usb mouse and keyboard and the kvm switch wont recognise it.Windows 7 on the main computer.
I have both a windows vista and win 7 laptop, while using the computer if more then one window is open. The inactive windows will pop up over the foreground window. Maybe part of a new windows feature? I don't think its a malware issue its present on both laptops one being brand new. It makes working on the computers rather hard ...
When i start up my comp and log in everything looks ok, i can click any icon on my desktop and they work, but my windows taskbar is inactive. The only way i have found so far around this problem is to ctrl/alt/del which takes me to the green admin page where i can start task manager, when task manager is clicked it automaticly sends me to desktop and i can then use the taskbar.
i not using english OS at the time, so i directly translated the message, but the actuall mesage is:The selected volume is on a dynamic disk when i select the location to save.hi, I so just reinstalled my os a few days ago, and today, i finally finish installing all the basic programs, so i opened up windows back up and select my data drive to backup on (D: ) but under it, theres that yellow triangle notification saying that the selected partition is on a active drive.for my understanding, active drive is only suppose to be my C: drive, so i opened up diskmanagement to check, and C: drive is actually inactive, but it is my system drive tried marking D as inactive with diskpart, but it doesnt change anything, it still says it is active, and if i mark C as active in diskmanagement, the OS wont load. So i put my Windows 7 disk back in and change it back to what it was
So I'm having this irritating problem where, when I'm running any program fullscreen, it will randomly "minimize" every few minutes and go back to the desktop as if I'd alt-tab'd out of it. Problem is, I didn't. I relate the problem to watching your favorite movie, only the screen turns off every few minutes because that's just what it feels like doing. This gets especially annoying when gaming.The problem exists with windowed programs as well, although to a slightly lesser extent. The window randomly becomes "inactive" as if I'd clicked out of it. This disrupts things like typing and playing flash games (this isn't in the games section because the problem persists for ANY program run, it's just that a lot of these programs happen to be games).I've tried cleaning up my disk drive and cleaning out my registry, and I've restarted my computer twice I think. This problem happens regardless of background programs, including Skype and Steam, and, most importantly, no error message or notification of any sort appears when this happens.
I successfully restored lots of 'orphan' messages, one by one. Now I have the tedious task of moving them back to the folders they started in, from the Storage Folders to the account-related ones. It is tedious because you have to manually create each individual folder in the target area. But why bother? At least for relatively inactive files? That is, what is the operational difference between Storage Folders and the account-related ones? I cannot find a simple description of that elsewhere.
I was hit with a smarthdd infection, which has been successfully removed. However, (whether related to it or not ?) after having this infection the pc has been randomly "not responding". It may go for 24+ hours and not freeze up at all and I think it's fixed, but then it does it again. It usually happens more over a longer period of inactivity, but not always.If I leave the pc alone, the screen saver comes on and does it's thing. But sometimes when I come back, move the mouse, click on an icon and I get that little blue circle spinning (windows "not responding"). Then mouse and keyboard commands are non responsive - the mouse does move around the screen with no problem. I have to hold the power button down to shut off, upon restart the pc runs absolutely fine, from what I can see.When it freezes, sometimes the taskbar (usually hidden) will pop up, other times no. I have a desktop gadget clock installed and have seen when it has frozen, which is prior to when I have attempted to wake up the pc, not AT the time of wake up. I haven't had any issues of it freezing while using the pc (working offline, browsing, music, video etc). The machine is working very well, other than for this random exception.
I have played with power settings - thinking that it may have to do with the machine sleeping and not waking up, but even if I have it set to "never sleep", it still freezes.This seems to be a common issue but very difficult for a "non expert" to diagnose/navigate on my own.
I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 ult(clean install with mech upgrade as well). Everything seems to work fine but I noticed that whenever I open my web browser or work on document, the page I'm browsing or working on goes inactive. For example, just now as I type this post, the page goes inactive and the cursor disappears so I have to click back on the page.
I've updated the driver for the mouse and alse used my old mouse. The problem remains.
We have Windows 7 x64 and needed to run older QuickBooks software. I installed XP Mode and everything works great except when it comes to printing. I installed the HP LaserJet 1320 USB printer and used TSPort 001 and everything worked. The next time the user stated XP Mode the TS port 001 was inactive. I switched to an active port TS008 and printing worked again. The next time the user started XP Mode the TS port TS008 that was just active gets switched to inactive so I have to change it back to the original port TS 001 and then it works again.
i have finsoud headset and it is trying to find my laptop but it fails my laptop also doesn't find the head set i test my headset with my mobile and they are connect and working together properly my Bluetooth driver on lap top is also works properly because i test it with other devices and it's work?hint: allow a device to connect is inactive?
why does my Windows 7 system freeze after it sits inactive for a while?I have a problem that is bothering me to no end. I guess not seeing it in front of you or being able to connect with my PC I would think it might be a challenge. But at this point maybe you can give me a few suggestions. I am running a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro. I have 3GB of RAM and I have 2 hard drives on my system. Every once in a while if I let my PC sit inactive and come back to do something, with it at the desktop or with a browser open, I will have to click my mouse three or four times and then my system comes to a complete halt and freezes--forcing me to turn the power off and restart my system. It goes through the process of loading Windows and asks me if or how I want to start my system, I always choose normally and not in safe mode. My question or problem is when and why my PC will freeze?I have checked my device manager and everything is OK and no yellow warning marks.
i have a custom built pc running windows 7 home premium, an i5 2500k, and 16gb of 1600mhz ram, and i'm occasionally experiencing lag while watching Internet videos in firefox. i scan regularly for viruses with malwarebytes and superantispyware, so i know thats not the problem, i run ccleaner about once a month thus keeping browser bloat to a minimum. but we do have 4 devices that are connected to the wifi, 3 phones and an ipod touch. can these devices slow the network even if they are not being used?
I have a program that uses a 360 controller. When the window is in focus it send the information fine. However when I have other windows focused it does not (this was expected). I constantly use the other windows so it can be a pain to select the window every time instead of just picking up the 360 controller and still control the program.
how I might redirect the input to the non focused window?
How do I make tray icons behave like in Windows XP, when "Hide inactive icons" is ON? I only see options to show all icons which is equivalent to unchecking "Hide inactive icons" in XP. And also options for each tray icon whether to always show it with notification, hide icon and show notification only and hide both icon and notification. But how to make them hide when inactive and unhide after if there is activity with them?
After a short period on non use (30 MINS) I awake the computer but the screen is magnified and I can only resolve this by doing a restart. Is there any way I can stop this happening?
My computer qwill freeze for a few seconds followed by system lag which seems to get worse (freezing every few seconds/taking 2 seconds to recognise a click etc.). If i reset my computer it resolves the issue but i was hoping you guys may be able to give me more insight as to what the issue may be.It nearly always happens when i am browsing in firefox. Have never had it happen to me during gaming etc. which is why i'm hesitant to believe it is to do with my GPU or it's drivers which are always kept up to date.i have included pics of the cursor and what processes were running at the time of the freeze/lag
Lately I have been having an annoying problem with my wireless mouse. For some reason the pointer will lag, and be very sluggish and jumpy. I've had this mouse on this computer for about a year and I've had no problem. Out of nowhere this problem is happening. I've tried re installing drivers with no luck. I tried uninstalling intellipoint and re-installing it, but when I tried I got the BSOD, and then it completely disabled my mouse and keyboard so I had to use wired peripherals to go in to safe mode and do a system restore. Now everything is working again, except my mouse is still jumpy.
i'm trying to order something from a website and the cursor want open my cart for me to look at it and finish my order. this is happening in several sites not just one.
When I run the program from the start menu the title menu comes up and when I click start a box pops up saying 'Please insert successful driver DVD to continue or Cancel to quit programme', So i then put the dvd into the laptop and it makes all sorts of stuttering noises and I keep clicking ok on the box and it just keeps returning the same message. Basically I can't run the program.It's not the CD because I have just installed and opened it on another laptop just fine.The problem laptop plays movies from DVDs no problems it's just this program I can't open.

I am running Win 7 on a Intel Core I7 920 processor. My motherboard is a Gigabyte EX58-UD3R FE motherboard. My RAM is (4) G Skill F3-16000CL9-2GBRH 2G sticks of DDR3 RAM. It says the type is PC3-10700H. When I check my system settings in windows, it says I have 8 GB installed but only 6 GB usuable. Is there any way to make it so that all of it is usable
