just upgraded a laptop from Vista to Windows 7, everything works fine except the computer now will only recognize 1 USB at a time, all the ports (3) work, the external hard drive, camera, printer or speakers all work however I can only use 1 device at a time, I just copied a file from my external to a thumb drive, I had to plug in the external, copy the file to my desktop, unplug the external and plug in the thumb drive to copy the file from the desktop, starting to annoy me, I can't print if I'm listening to music, can't listen to music and copy to the external etc etc etc

I've been having this issue for awhile now. When I try to do multiple things at once Windows seems to freeze for minutes at a time.I am running stock settings on all of my hardware so Im confused to what could be happening. [code]
I've installed snow leopard (hackintosh) on a separate partition and since then I've been having trouble with the clock it reads 3 extra hours than the original timeSo I deleted Snow Leopard and formatted the partition and checked the time again and no change at all
About a month after I started using it, the Say the Time clock program I bought stopped launching the management menu when I right click the date/time field in the task tray (notification area).
Therefore, I can't use or edit the program. Neither the touchpad nor the cordless mouse works.
Other than this problem, my computer works great. Every single item that's meant to be right clicked works for me.
Is there a way I can generate a log to show the software manufacturer (Provenio) that it's their problem and not mine? I am a novice user but I can follow instructions. However, I don't want to put my computer at risk if I make an entry error.
I've been using computers for 18 years and I've never had this problem until I bought this software and used it for about a month.
I just wanted a conclusive way of putting the ball back in the manufacturer's court.
I spilt some water on my laptop a few days ago but fortunately it's completely dried out and working perfectly.... apart from this minor (but important) issue.
Problem: the system time does not stay correct. Even after manually updating the BIOS time and also even after manually syncing it with the various servers available under the time options.
Fix: set the internet time sync interval to every minute rather than its default setting? How do I do this?
P.S. This couldn't be a CMOS battery issue surely because even when the system is on and plugged in the system time still deviates from correct. (I assume the CMOS battery is only used when the system is powered off.) If I need it replaced, how does that sit with my Dell hardware warranty?
So I bought a new desktop computer about 2 weeks ago and ever since I got it, it's been freezing (locking) up on me at random times. I currently use Windows 7 64-bit. I put in a new graphics card and new memory sticks just the other day and I got the same freezing problem. It's very random. I can be surfing the web and the next thing you know, the whole thing freezes up. I can't move the mouse. Can't do CTRL ALT DEL. Can't do anything. Seems as if the whole computer locks up. The only way to restart the computer is by manually holding in the power button for a few seconds. So since I replaced graphics card and installed new memory, I was thinking it may be something else causing this.
I've changed the setting of maximum processor state on battery from 100% to 50% to save battery. But the setting resets to default 100% time to time. I don't know why this is happening.
Once in a while I find that the time zone moves from GMT to Pacific Time.Has anyone any idea what would cause this, new CMOS battery fitted, which ever time zone shows the time is correct for that zone. Checked the BIOS and that also changes.I dual boot two Win 7 installations.
I have an issue with my P8P67 PRO (Rev 3.1). Mouse but mainly keyboard (both Microsoft) are not detected during the cold boot from time to time, i suspect the BIOS is the one to blame i have the latest version, what can i do?Both are USB.When i turn on the PC from time to time a long beep takes place and a message during posting (no keyboard detected). Sometimes happens sometimes not. PS/2 ports didn't work for me, when im using them NOTHING gets recognized (and yes i turned off the PC before plugging them).
I loaded Windows 7 three computers, 2 desktops and 1 laptop. My Dell XPS is the one that keeps flashing a black screen from time to time. It seems like it is thinking for a few seconds but when this happens it is like my monitor turns off.
I attempted to install a relatively old flight simulation (FMS) in my computer with Windows 7. I get an "Ecom port error" message. I understang this is a issue of incomatibility and that I should add a com port to my windows 7. I don't know excatly how to do it.
I couldn't boot windows anymore, I spent a lot of time looking for the cause of the problem when I finally realised that windows will boot only if USB ports are not in use. This means that I have to unplug my keyboard, mouse, and all other USB devices before starting up my computer. Or else, it will get stuck as soon as the windows logo starts to appear during the loading screen.
I have an HP pavillion notebook with Windows 7 and when trying to install my Canon MX860 printer, there are no ports showing at all, neither LPT or com ports. How can i install the ports so i can connect my printer?
I can't find the port assignments in Windows 7. They're supposed to be in Device Manager between "Network adapters" and "Processors." Ports are not listed. How do I find them?
I'm attemping to do a clean install on my ASUS UX32VD-DB71. The problem is that there is no disc drive on the laptop, and all 3 of the USB ports are 3.0. But as you guys may know, a USB 3.0 port isn't loaded until Windows has booted. Still, the bootable 2.0 USB was able to boot, but after a few clicks "Next", a window appeared saying ""A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive,
I have just tried to install the prolific USB-Serial COM PORT Driver Windows 7 Home 64 bit to connect my Garmin summit. As hard as I have tried I cannot find a driver that works, I am using a PFRANC data cable that worked with my XP Pro PC with out any problems.i have updated my windows drivers.
