USB DEVICES NOT ALWAYS RECOGNISED

[Mike D]

Hi, I have vista ultimate and sometimes when I plug in a device I know I have
installed and was working it asks me for the drivers again, I search the
local computer but it doesn't find them, I thought it was only when I plugged
the device into a different port put it seems to just be random, anyone help?

Thanks

Try updating your chipset drivers, go the manufacturers website.

I've got the same problem on and off but pretty much 98% of the time.
Looking for a solution quite by accident I just found in Install/Uninstall
Windows Components "Manage Removable Storage Devices" or something to this
effect. It was unchecked. I checked it but it will be about 18 hours before
I can find out if it really worked. I've got Ultimate but had it also in XP
all the way.
