Device disconnected, reconnected annoyance!

[Kontaminator]

At completely random times, Windows XP is telling me that a device is
being disconnected, then reconnected. It can happen 5 times in an hour,
or 5 times in 5 hours - it really is that random.

NOTHING in Windows logs exactly what is going on (Event viewer). I've
completely removed ALL USB devices which has ruled them out - I've
disabled the 'power management' feature of USB Root Hubs in Device
Manager, and I'm now out of ideas.

I've trawled through several newsgroups looking for an answer to this.

Then only feasible answer I found was the 'power management' issue.

Is my hardware faulty or is Windows just being crap?

Any suggestions, please do throw them this way - this is driving me insane!

Thanks.

Hello

Not sure if this is much help, I had this problem with my Wireless mouse and
keyboard (Logitech).
Although keyboard and mouse where working fine I kept getting this..

Ended up being a loose battery...

Replaced the batteries (and put a little bit of tissue in for padding!) and
hey presto no more pop ups...

If you dont have a wirless mouse/keyboard I would recommend checking the
powersave features and switch off power saving for everything and see if
this stops....

Hope it helps you

Kind Regards
Charlie
