Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit And Com Ports
Feb 22, 2012
I have a customer that I built a new pc for running Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. He dose vinyl work and his vinyl printer was made to run on Xp. every thing installed perfectly but it has to communicate with the Pc via LPT port. If you look at the com ports it says it is there but the Pc and printer do not see each other in the program there for will not communicate. I know com ports are an old technology but I was wondering is there something you need to do in windows 7 to get com ports to work like flipping a switch in code etc. everything is there and working except for the two communicating so it has to be something small and stupid that I'm missing.

A few days ago I installed a USB 3.0 card (to be precise, this one: 2-Port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed PCI-E Controller Card - Free Shipping - DealExtreme). It uses the very common NEC PD720200 USB 3.0 controller. I installed the required drivers for Windows 7, and the card worked fine for the first day or so. but not since. Whenever I plug in a USB 3.0 external hard drive, I get a false "This device can perform faster..." message, as if I had plugged the drive in a USB 2.0 port.
The external drive I am using is a Western Digital MyBook Essential 1130. It is definitely a USB 3.0 drive, and came with the required USB 3.0 cable. While the USB 3.0 card was working, I got full-speed transfers to the limit of the hard drive's ability, about 90-100 MB/s. Now I can only get USB 2.0 speeds (33-34 MB/s). Windows insists I have the drive plugged into a USB 2.0 port even though it is plugged directly into the USB 3.0 card.
Things I tried so far: -rebooting and complete power cycle. No difference. -plugging the drive into one port or the other. Also no difference. -Looked in Device manager.The controller is recognized as a USB 3.0 device is using the proper NEC drivers.
Other info that may be important:
-No overclocking settings in use.
-I made sure the cable was plugged in all the way. It's in as far as it can go, but the ports will still only act like USB 2.0 ports.
I might as well throw the card away if it is only going to act as a USB 2.0 device.

I bought the full retail Win 7 Ultimate and trying to upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Ultimate, both 32bit. I get to the Expanding Windows files to 21% and nothing. The program is still running and stuck at 21% but after waiting 3 hours I shut power off and Vista was reinstated. Why can't I get past 21% Expanding Windows files? I want to use the upgrade because I have a ton of programs on my Vista and don't want to spend days reinstalling them.

I have three USB ports on my Gateway laptop and none of them are working. I've tried un-installing them through the Device Manager, but the action gets hung up and I have to stop it (I've let it run for 10+ minutes) through the task manager. When I re-open the Device Manager the USB all the controllers are still there.
I bought an expansion drive because I wanted to back up my photos and other files. After I did that I was going to reinstall a clean version of Windows 7 as my laptop hasn't been working well lately.
USB ports would be greatly appreciated.

I have windows 7 and linux mint on my desktop, I built my computer myself, and it works great. My girlfriend asked me to help her put songs onto her iPhone 3G this weekend so I plugged it into my computer while in windows and a little bubble popped up saying a usb port was using too much power, or something along those lines. I didn't think anything of it because nothing else happened. The iPhone had been acting really strange lately so in the end no music got put onto it. I restarted my computer and none of my USB ports work anymore. My mouse and keyboard are USB and now I can't log onto windows because I can't type in my password.

I have built all of the PCs currently in use - one that my youngest has access to has an MSI Motherboard in it (sorry haven't got the mobo manual to hand at the moment.Purchased an upgrade from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 as youngest in education got a discount on the upgrade. Windows XP has to be present at point of install - cannot be a direct install or installation upgrade from within XP. In XP all the USB ports work normally but in 7 the bottom 2 (USB2) are 'dead' in 7. The MSI forum begs to differ. And I know not to add any USB peripheral device before installing software. Processor is a 2.4 Ghz AMD Athlon 64 AM2 Processor and an AGP card (8x) that requires two power sources. Power supply is 450 W - is this too low? 1 Gb 400 MHz RAM, 170 Gb Hard Drive shared equally between Windows XP and 7.

I'm convinced that that is the problem. I have tried EVERYTHING else to get the USB ports to work, but still no luck. They will not recognize any devices that I plug into the computer. Here are the specs (copied from hp.com):
Hardware
Product Nameze2108wm
US Product NumberEA390UA#ABA
Microprocessor1.6GHz AMD Mobile Sempron™ Processor 2800+ with PowerNow!™ Technology
Microprocessor Cache256KB L2 Cache
[Code].....
I found a Windows.old file under the C drive, so that's what I figure happened.
Is there any way to make the USB drives work without having to revert to Windows XP? Also, are the ports not working simply because the drivers are not compatible with Win 7, or is there another problem (probably something simple and then I'll feel like an idiot =/ )?

My system is Dell OptiPlex 740, 2.50 GB RAM, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit.All of a sudden - the USB ports (all 7 of them) stopped to function roperly.Each device I plugged into the port - got recognized as 'uknown device' and doesn't function at all.One of the biggest problems that this cause me - I can't plug in the keyboard and the mice - I don't have PS/2 ports in this computer.Thing is, even out of Windows, the USB doesn't work. I'm suspecting this because the PC giving me 'Keyboard fault' everytime I restart. So I can't got to BIOS either.Right now I'm using special combination of USB hub attached to one of the ports, and the peripherals connected to the hub

I have recently installed windows 7 on to my pc. Everything seemed okay to start with, but then the printer wouldn't work. The printer is working, but not with the computer. The message that usb ports arent working keeps coming up.
I have tried to uninstall the usb drivers, to no avail. Keeps saying usb device not detected.

My USB ports on my ASUS c90s laptop suddenly stopped working one by one. After reading around the internet it seems this is a windows 7 problem. When I go to device management I have other devices not working. Two Base system devices under a PCI bus category and an "Unknown Device". The unknown device is under the Intel(R) 82801GB/GR (ICH7 Family) LPC Interface Controller - 27B8 section. It has no driver, even though I downloaded the driver manually it still doesn't work. I've tried removing my battery and then replacing it. I disabled all the USB ports then restarted. I've even uninstalled them aswell as the unknown device.I went to theregistry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}and found one solution to delete the upper and lower values. I had no lower values just a "lowerlogoversion" but I did delete the upper value. I then restarted and attempted to plug my mouse into my USB again and it was recognized for about a second and the red light under my mouse lit up but then went away.

I cannot download the driver for my USB ports on Windows 7. I have a Packard Bell PC. I have Driver Boost software installed and every time I run the programe at the end os scan it always finds the USB driver out of date and says none to be found. Yet the latest driver was 2010. I can't download photos via digicam with cable or memory card slot.

USB Ports Stopped Working - Windows 7?

my usb ports (mouse and keyboard) stopped working after it gets to windows welcome screen. It worked prior to that (I could get in to the bios and use the keyboard there) and I can even get to the windows repair mode and have my usb mouse and keyboard working. But booting it normally (or even safe mode) will disable keyboard and mouse (and all usb ports i believe) at the login screen. I don't have a PS/2 port so I don't have any alternative way to type in my pwd at the login screen. I would like to try the solution posted above, since I can get to the repair mode, open command prompt and run regedit, but just unsure since I didn't see any response from the user on that post whether it worked or not.

I was rebuilding my computer bit by bit after my old one died on me. I recently purchased a motherboard/cpu and I used an old harddrive with windows xp on it and my old video card from my previous pc.Everything worked fine, all usb ports were up and running, monitor worked great. Than I went to install Windows 7 on my computer from a usb thumb-drive. Everything went smoothly until I got the the first restart. When the computer turned on again, all fans were turning, hard drive was spinning, and led lights turned on but my monitor went black saying no connection, and none of my usb ports work (no lights on my keyboard or mouse).
My computer specs are:
Motherboard: AsRock 970 Extreme3
CPU: AMD-FX 4100
Graphic Card: Zotac GeForce 9500GT
Ram: 2, 4GB (8GB total) Corsair Vengeance DDR3
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.7
Monitor: Asus VH198T

Left my computer running Win 7 home premium on overnight, had just installed a fresh copy of windows. I saw a message saying the system was restarted because of windows updates. Now, none of my USB 2.0 ports work, neither the rear ports nor usb mobo headers work. The two usb 3.0 ports do work however. Those 2.0 ports were working fine previously. Never seen update do this before.

My problem began when someday i had issue in my windows which was usb was not recognized as i tried putting 3 usbs but all of them didn't work and i have 2 usb ports in my laptop which is dell xps 15z so i don't think it is a hardware issue
My problem continued and i searched and searched the internet for solutions but no one really worked so i decided to format the windows and installing new clean windows 7 one, and i did so and after installation i had too many more problems knowing that i installed all the required drivers needed for the laptop and checked them with driver genius, now any usb i plug in isn't even sensed by the lap or self installed like the usb ports have no drivers or anything.I tried the wireless mouse which isn't sensed on another laptop and it installed and worked instantly, so where is driver software installation which should install the mouse automatic?

I have recently downloaded Windows 7 - 32 bit onto a new discrete (i.e. Physically separate) HDD. In the installation process it had severe problems with USB and PCIe drivers. That is they don't work and there were! marks in Device Manager. I was lucky in having access to an old PS2 kybd which allowed me some access to the new os. Luckily, since I was booting off of a Windows XP Home Edition on a separate HDD I managed to use its drivers which worked on the Windows 7 and allowed me to get my USB kyybd and mouse working again. It also automatically down loaded the other drivers for my devices like the USB dongle for wireless internet access.
This is a long preamble to my actual problem and the reason for this message. I have not had as much success when I tried the same exercise; this time with Windows 7 - 64 bit installation. The 64 bit was installed on a separate partition on the same physical drive as the 32 bit version. The 32 bit drivers from Win 7 - 32 bit and XP don't work. I thought the 32 bit drivers for such basic things as USB pointing devices would work in the 64 bit version; but clearly not. Also, clearly my installation disk is negligent in not loading the drivers in either installation. Where can I go to get these basic drivers.
I have tried Logitech with no luck as my kybd/mouse combo doesn't even show up on their site. I have tried going to Microsoft site to get generic 64 bit drivers but they are not being very kind in that regard. There is nothing to download. Clearly they don't want to give anything away free! My Logitech USB kybd/mouse combo is model Y-RK56A for the kybd and M-RR95 for the mouse. My mobo is a Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H and I have its CD but w/o mouse I can't get it to install on the Win 7-64 partition. I thought when it installed on my XP partition it would have installed both sets of drivers. Can I extract just the 64 bit USB drivers from there?
