[Guest]

when i try to use my digital camera or card reader or mobile phone software i
get a message telling me there is no hardware connected. ive tried
reinstalling these items but my pc wont instal the drivers for them. ive
tried downloading new drivers but again they wont instal onto my pc. i never
use to have this trouble as these itemns use to work fine. would appreciate
help as i cant download any photograpic images of any kind at the moment.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

USB connections can be problematic. Try a different USB port.

Look at the Warnings and Error Reports in Event Viewer.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click for further information. You can copy using copy
and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further
information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.
