10.3. T roubleshooting: the device isn't
recognised by the computer (USB)
1. This occurs in rare cases whith some OEM
Windows Vista or XP versions. The device
is not defective. Updating the notebook or
PC USB driver usually suffices.
2. If not, proceed as below. (The maker
cannot accept any liability whatsoever in
these cases1).
Delete ghost devices. These are devices not
actually currently connected to your computer.
The reason for this is that Windows generates
a system settings entry for each USB device
( e.g USB Stick) on each port. It then seeks
that/those device/s each time it's started.
This slows down USB device recognition and
Windows booting and causes non-recognition
of USB ports.
Cleaning
up
the
system
and deleting devices that are no longer
in use helps here. To do so right click
WORKPLACE (COMPUTER in Vista) and
open the PROPERTIES menu. Then click
the ADVANCED tab (ADVANCED SYSTEM
SETTINGS in Vista) and then ENVIRONMENT
