The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows Vista does not recognize USB devices

Asked by SteveSheeley in Windows Vista, Drivers, SmartCards & Readers

Tags: abit/Intel, abit IP35Pro motherboard, Intel IP35 Chipset, Windows Vista Business Edition

This one's a doozy.......

abit IP35Pro motherboard  (http://www.uabit.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=110&Itemid=2)
Intel Core2 Duo CPU, 2.20GHz
Main Memory = 2GB RAM
Motherboard has 4 backplane USB Ports plus two additional front panel ones as well.
All MB drivers provided by abit installed and operational in XP.
Windows Vista Business upgraded from Clean Windows XP Pro.

Prior to the upgrade to Vista Business, Windows XP Pro worked flawlessly with ALL USB devices.  USB Flash Drives, USB Camera, USB anything.

Upgraded to Vista Business.

After upgrade completed, activated, validated, tested and DNA samples provided to M$, the following devices were operational on the USB ports:

HP PSC2355 All-In-One printer with integrated flash card reader (5 types, plus additional USB connection) - Printer operational 100%, however, system wants to install drivers for "Unknown Device" every time the system starts up.

USB Bluetooth keyboard and mouse (MX5000 Laser by Logitech) - 100% operational.

First time I plugged my Imation 1gb Flip-Flash drive into the front panel USB Port, I got a ton of errors, all around "Windows needs to install a driver for you hardware"

I googled, yahoo'd and asked Jeeves and did everything I could come up with from those and we're at the following point:

Whenever I insert an card into my multi-format card reader on the Printer, or when ever I insert a flash drive, I get a "Safely remove Hardware" icon in the systray and that shows a USB Mass Storage Device, however, no drives show up in My Computer at all.  I get no hits, no runs, no errors at all, just an additional "Unknown Device" added to my Device Manager for each different type of device I connect.

Anyone got any ideas on this?  I'm at the end of my rope and I'm about ready to flush M$ down the drain.View the Solution FREE for 7 Days
