USB not working

[rustydailey]

I've been having trouble with connecting USB devices. I get the found new
hardware wizard but it doesn't find the correct driver. I found a post with a
similar problem and it said to run system file checker then to uninstall all
USB devices and then restart. I did this now when I restarted it brought up
the found new hardware wizard, but didn't find any of the drivers. So I need
to know reinstall all the USB drivers and how to keep this from happening
again.

Did you also remove the USB "controllers" for Device Manager?

 

[rustydailey]

Yes I removed all the controllers.

Did you also remove the USB "controllers" for Device Manager?

Does the plug and play enabled n your BIOS?
Also check by typing this command:
services.msc click [OK] make sure these services running:
Plug and Play
Human user interface

Reboot your machine and see if that will help?

 

[rustydailey]

I don't know how to check the BIOS, there is no option to do so when
restarting. I checked the services.msc and the Human user interface wasn't
there, but the plug and play was.

 

[nass]

F2 to access the BIOS or console the MOBO manual?
What your OS version and your External Devices attached to this machine?

Have a look in the Event Viewer and send us the error messages you will see
there in your next post:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the
error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.

Its a Sony Vaio Model VGN-FJ270, I don't know how to check the motherboard
iinfo. I did look at the BIOS and there is no where to enable or disable the
plug and play.

 

[nass]
