Hi there

Firstly, could we have some system specs please?

Secondly, have you checked in the bios to make sure that your USB controllers are enabled?
If so, have you checked in device manager & made sure that they are correctly listed in there?

2) dont know how to do that
3) yes i check already and said it was ok

If the USB controllers are listed as working correctly in device manager, then its probably safe to assume they are enabled in the bios.

Can you tell me, are the USB ports you are trying to use, located on the front of the computer case or are they on the rear next to the PS2 ports etc?
Do you know what motherboard you have? If not, try downloading & running everest :

Also, do you have a simple USB device (such as a mouse) you can test on the USB ports?

[collrest]

Thanks for that info.

The ps2 ports are the ones used for a (non-usb) keyboard/mouse.

Until we resolve your problem, I suggest you just stick to using the rear USB ports - front USB ports are often more flakey & may not even be connected up.

I am assuming the USB printer has its own power supply/mains lead, right? How about the external drive?
Has the printer ever worked (or ever been installed) on this computer before?

[collrest]

ok thxs for the ps2 ports info.
the printer and the external drive have it own power supply.
and the printer worked before and the usb on the back of my pc doesnt work too. and just it near a ps2 ports

right, so the printer used to work on this computer but suddenly stopped working?
Am I right in thinking that the system can't detect the printer any longer or not?

1) yeah
2)maybe it cant detect it cuz some thing is blocking it?
i already send a hijack log and post and reslove it and there nothing esle doing it i guess

[Samm]

so would I be correct in thinking, that when you plug the USB external drive into one of the rear usb ports, windows does not register anything being connected at all and the drive does not show up anywhere in My computer or device manager?

[collrest]

yeah!

[Samm]

hmmmm...

ok, can you go into device manager (make sure all your USB devices are unplugged from the computer) and locate :
USB Controller->USB Root hub->properties
Click on the Power tab in properties, then click 'power properties'
You should see two readings - power available & power used.
Let me know what these values are. There may be more than one root hub entry & more than one usb controller in DM, so repeat this for ALL of the USB root hubs.

Next, connect the USB external drive to one of the rear USB ports. Go back to DM & recheck all of the power values for each root hub. If ANY value has altered, let me know.

Also, while your looking in DM at the USB controllers, you should see the chipset manufacturers name listed (eg Intel/Ali/Via/Sis). Let me know which one it is

how do i unpluged my usb when my computer is soo compact! i might pull something else then the usb and make my computer not working!! oh well might at least tried for u.. cuz ur trying the most

there is no power properties when the click the power tab....
i just put the power available and required:
the first hub: 500 mA per port 3 ports available Power required 0 mA
the second hub: the same as above
k i just attached the external harddrive and nothing happen

the manufacturers name is (Standard USB Host Controller) that wat it said....
and it show the location: 0
