Not specifically on your problem; but sometimes if the unpluging and
repluging of devices does not work, you can try and go tothe Control
panel\System\Device manager and click on any of the listed items so as
tohighlight one after which click on Rescan for Hardware. This often does
the same thing as rebooting the computer in that it will install any loaded
turned on and installed devices that the system is not recognizing as well
as sometimes reinstall missing or corrupted driver and controller files
that are on your system but whose working copies have become corrupted or
placed in conflict with something else.
Despite all the praise, USB can be a finicky form of connection. With each
manufacturer using the specs as merely guidelines which they try to tweak
and with limited amounts of power, IRQs, DMAs, PCI slots, etc. and an
increasing number of peripherals on systems today with many being USB, there
are frequently unanticipated conflicts and problems with some devices being
more problematic than others. I currently have a USB 2.0 video capture
device connected directly to its own USB 2.0 PCI adapter card in a Win XP
AMD 2200 cpu with 1 GB of RAM. While it works ok, if I should need to shut
the computer down or reboot, it prevents Windows from starting up again if
it is connected during the start up. I can replug it in after startup is
completed with no problems. Go figure!
