Is Microsoft incapable of fixing Vista USB problems?

[Rich T]

Vista evidently has serious USB issues on many computers (including my own).

What concerns me most is that these problems have plagued Vista since launch
and Microsoft still have not fixed them. Googling around to try to find
solutions to my own problems, I come across people with BRAND NEW computers
who are struggling with failing USB ports. So these problems are persisting
nearly a year since Vista public release, and many years since the beta
release.

I am therefore left wondering if Microsoft have completely no idea what the
problem is and are completely unable to resolve the problem?

What problem?? I Googled VISTA USB and didn't see one problem

2 Vista PC's here NO USB problems
No one I know has a USB problem

Perhaps you would care to explain your problem and you may find it isn't
Vista causing it at all.

but from the looks of your post ( all bitching and no substance) I'm
inclined to think your just another Linux loser trolling this group

Microsoft seems to think there are issues with USB and Vista as their
own Knowledgebase confirms:

And YOU obviously have no idea how to SPELL Google!
LOL.
He never said he was using Google, anyway.

After a Windows update a while back both my printer and my mouse stopped
working. I had to switch my printer to a different usb port and install a
new mouse.

ZZZZZZ Every device on a PC can and does have problems from time to time and
it's not uncommand and has been that way with all version of Windows or any
OS out there. there are just too many possible combinations of hardware,
software and drivers. Now you can blame it all on MS if you like (and I'm
sure you will) but any reasonable and knowledgeable person knows there could
be many reasons for a hardware fault.
So I guess your excused


Here Google this "Linux USB trouble problems" and see the 2,000,000 Plus
hits you get. Now am I over in a Linux group writing BS post about how Linux
can't fix their USB problems?
No
Why?
Becasue I'm not a troll, Troll

Since you don't have anything to really say don't bother replying.

And they worked in the same non working USB ports?

where these devices on an External hub? Where they old devices? did you
check for newer drivers?

If you did use the same ports then I would dare say your USB ports are
working in Vista but your old devices weren't.

You dumb shit. I NEVER have mentioned let alone suggested Linux. I
guess that makes you a confirmed idiot. As if we didn't already know.

" where these devices on an External hub? Where they old devices? did you

not external. mouse was fairly new. all updated. Had to switch ports on
printer and install a mouse with a dedicated mouse port.

Well I might just be one of those growing disgruntled with Vista. I have a
new Dell XPS table top computer and my MS optical mouse and Dell (hardwired)
keyboard quit working. Dell couldn't walk me through the problem - and told
me it was a software issue that was corrupting the USB ports (all of 11 of
them). After resetting the motherboard and restoring the system 5 - 6 times
(which got the mouse and keyboard working for about 2 -3 minutes), everything
failed again. Worst part is I can't move around once on the internet, or
anywhere else, once these items fail. Can any one of you happy MS customers
help me resolve my dilemma?

It really sounds like you have a hardware fault whatever Dell say.
There are not lots of people with USB ports that keep getting corrupted
(whatever that means) so it really is unlikely to be a problem with vista.
It may be a problem with the Dell supplied driver software so check for
updates from Dell before you send it back for repair.

Obviously you haven't been following the USB problems that have arisen
since installing Vista SP1.

Not all of us are getting USB problems since installing SP1. Accepted that
it is of little comfort to those who do have problems..
