Device Is Currently Is Use Message With Any Usb Connections In Windows 7
Dec 3, 2011
We recently had to purchase a new computer, it has Windows 7.No matter what I plug into the computer via usb - Nook Color, camera, flash drives, external hard drive, etc, I get the message "This device is currently in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device and try again." Since is happening with every device I plug in, I'm guessing it is a Windows 7 problem. Is there a way to fix it? I've been just pulling the usb out but someone said I should shut down the computer first.

"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"
I Ve been trying to install Windows 7 RC on my Sony Vaio VGN 123 E and i managed to get my DVD fully working (booting windows 7 installation and all), but the las issue im having installing Windows 7 is that eveyrtime i get into the Install now screen, and i click on install now, it goes and show me a screen with this message:
No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok.
That message gives me 3 buttons: ok, cancel and browse, neither of OK and CANCEL would let me through the install, and with browse i have tried to find those missing drivers but without succeed.
I have read almost every near installation post on this forum and googled that error with no further
FYI:Vista Home Premium already Installed on Laptop. DVD/RW rom is working perfect and window7 does boot perfectly then why the hell it needs drivers again? I do not have drivers for Cd/dvd rom.

I built my first computer yesterday, and for quite a while everything seemed to go well. My BIOS is working fine, hard drive is visible etc. However when I try to install Windows 7 Home Premium (system builder edition) I get the message "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing".

Windows did not show any network connections in the network connections window. I tried everything that I could find online but nothing worked. As a last resort I decided to reinstall the driver for my Intel 82566DC-2 Gigabit network connection. I uninstalled the old driver and then installed the latest drivers but now I get code 31 (cannot find the driver software) in device manager and the connection doesn't work.

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 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.

I have recently built a new computer not so long ago. But starting today a Message of my "USB Device being unrecognizable" kept popping up.It is always my Razer DeathAdder mouse that dies in the process. I checked the Device Manager and under "Razer Device" It has the "Virtual HID Minidriver" with the computer and question mark icon at the bottom right of the computer icon. Does that mean it's the problem? This is the image of the message:
I ran AVG and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware but nothing showed upHere is my Malware log:Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.50.1.1100 [URL] version: 6210Windows 6.1.7600Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.163853/29/2011 11:57:42 PMmbam-log-2011-03-29 (23-57-42).txtScan type: Full scan (C:\|)Objects scanned: 278550Time elapsed: 14 minute(s), 47 second(s)Memory Processes Infected: 0Memory Modules Infected: 0Registry Keys Infected: 0Registry Values Infected: 0Registry Data Items Infected: 0Folders Infected: 0Files Infected: 0Memory Processes Infected:(No malicious items detected)Memory Modules Infected:(No malicious items detected)Registry Keys Infected:(No malicious items detected)Registry Values Infected:(No malicious items detected)Registry Data Items Infected:(No malicious items detected)Folders Infected:(No malicious items detected)Files Infected:(No malicious items detected)A few has suggested to turn off the computer and disconnect all power for 30 mins and turning it back on. I tried that and it didn't workI also uninstalled all the USB hubs and controllers under the Universal Serial Bus controllers, and rebooting the computer to reinstall it, but that also didn't work.I went to the motherboard website and Also downloaded the latest USB drivers, didn't work either.The problem would always show up as an "Unknown device" when I click on the error message, Even when I look into the "device and printer" window the device would pop up as "unknown" then disappear, even though all my devices would be working properly. If I make slight changes to the mouse, like adding advance functions for my extra buttons on the mouse, the mouse will die and not work until I unplug and plug it back in. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 BitAMD 6 Core black editionMotherboard version: ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD 890GX HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard?

I keep receiving a pop-up with the above message concerning my USB ports..when nothing is connected. From reading around I suspect the problem may be a stray driver from some software package but how do I detect which? I can see at least one in Device Manager relating to a programme I've deleted in the past. Another is for Virtual WiFi (I had difficulties with the MiniPort Adapter at one stage) but I gather that will be coming into use at some point? Bit of a novice, can someone reassure me how to detect the problem and fix it?

I recently built a new rig and attempted to install Windows 7, yet when I attempted to install the software from the disk I received the message "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device". I have changed the boot order in bios (I have a Gigabyte Z77- D3H motherboard) but that has not helped, with it not booting from the drive with the disk in that I assigned.

We just upgraded our office desktop from Windows XP and Windows 7. We used to scan driver's license IDs into our accounting program on XP. It worked pretty smoothly. But now on Windows 7 (the same hardware, except the desktop itself) when someone tries to scan a document we get the following window (see attached) that says,"Which device do you want to use?"With only one scanner in the list. That is kind of stupid, isn't it... Plus this window doesn't just popup, it becomes hidden behind other windows and the only way to tell that it's there is by its flashing icon on the taskbar, which is very confusing for most of our office workers.how to make this window not show up and go directly into that scanner (like it used to work on XP)?

What is the maximum number of inbound connection for Win 7 Pro x64?
I am helping someone setup an office where the host OS running Win 7 Pro x64, and have about 15 client machines connect to it.
The client PCs would be used to save/access data stored on the host machine. Would getting a full blown server be a better solution?

My laptop {NV53 Gateway} quit searching for networks, and eventually displayed no connections are available. I have looked for solutions all over the internet but I can't find any. The troubleshooter doesn't work for me. It says the driver is experiencing hardware issues, but I know it doesn't, because I looked in the device manager and it doesn't have any issue.
I am trying to figure out what the problem is, I've tried to connect to a network, that doesn't work & I've also tried setting up a new network but that doesn't work either. My Wifi button on my computer is on, and I do have a card installed on it, and it still doesn't show up with any networks. I did ipconfig/all and my Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection says media disconnected only because I dont have it connected to ethernet...
On the other hand, it says:
Tunnel adapter isatap. {45E92676-7CB114F99-8B8C-2BE1DA2A0FEA} and it is a Microsoft ISATAP Adapter (which I didn't know I had). And the other is a Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunnneling Pseudo-Interface. Both of them are media disconnected.
Broadcom NetLink {Tm} Gigabit Ethernet is my ethernet connection. I usually go wirelessely.

I have a bit of a canundrum. I have 2 mobile broadband connections, one for my computer and one for my iPhone. It's basically the same subscription over here. I live a bit off the grid so I can't get any DSL connection unfortunately.So they both have a limited download rate and my 10 gigs each month dries up pretty fast, and then I'm left with a 15kb/s connection on both devices. Now I've used my iPhone as a wifi router to access it and download through that connection on my pc, meanwhile the USB dongle 3g connection has been there and I've just assumed that they work together to bring me information, but obviously that doesn't happen. Now I realize this won't do a lot, but over here it's a doubling in bandwidth, and from 15 to 30 kb/s is quite a jump.

So I usually use my laptop as an adaptor to connect to xbox live using the bridge connected to my wifi. So today I tried connecting like usual but for some reason, it didn't work! I tested my xbox live connection and it couldn't even connect to the network.

I have a windows 7 ultimate setup at home allowing a VPN connections via ptppp using the incoming setup.I set up the Client which is my iPad 2 and the connection goes through fine authenticating and then connected internally within the network and externally outside the network. Everything seems work prefectly.The client(iPad 2) loses internet browsing capability if I turn On the option to send all traffic however if the send all traffic is off then everything works fine. It's only my assumption that the reason why the internet works when the send all traffic is Off via my iPad 2 to the windows 7 machine is because it created a split tunnel which allows me to use the Internet without problems.My goal is to be able to turn On Send All traffic and it works. Having all data passthrough the windows machine

I turned on my Netbook (Packard Bell NAV50, Windows 7) the other day and it would not connect to the internet. Not only won't it connect, but I can't even find any wireless networks, the icon in the bottom right just has a red cross. I'm currently using another laptop which can detect the network and next doors too so it is not a problem with the router. My PS3, phone, iPod etc also all connect fine. I've checked the fn f2 thing and that is definately on and working. Also when i click on "change adapter settings" in "network and sharing centre", it is there and is enabled and has the full green symbol icon but also has a red cross.
