  • Windows 7 not recognizing some USB devices?

    I recently bought a new HP Pavillion p6325a PC and I am able to connect my USB Pendrives and External HDDs to it but devices like digital cameras, my Iphone, my Video camera etc do not work it says driver installation failed (all these devices have the drivers inbuilt and work perfectly with my other 2 computers). Whenever I connect these devices it says "Device Driver software was not successfully installed" . The device is detected in device manager but after failing the driver install a yellow exclamation mark appears near the usb device, I have tried just about everything from updating Windows to uninstalling the usb roots and devices and so on. I tried all the fixes from HPs website, Microsoft's website and so many forums and the funny thing is I am not the only one experencing this problem with Windows 7 and USB devices there must be hundreds of others gone through the same issue and there is still no dam fix from MICROSOFT. Please if anyone knows any new way of fixing this and solving this nightmare of an issue please let me know. I will list the websites with the procedures I have already tired.

    Tried Microsoft's fix it tool but even that says it cant find the problem and when I try and update a USB driver it says unable to do so.

  • Iphone not recognized by windows 7 64bit (new computer) ?

    Hey everyone I just bought a new PC running windows 7 64 bit version and tried installing I tunes which installed fine, but when I connect my 3G I phone to the computer nothing happens in I tunes and also windows does not even sense that it is connected, but my phone does charge no indication on the phone tho (like if its sync) but after an hour it has a full battery. I also have a windows XP PC and a Compaq laptop running 32 bit vista which works perfectly with my I phone. One thing I did notice on my new win 7 PC is that Apple Mobile Device is not installed and so I disabled all my firewalls and so on, I even put it in administrator mode and in compatibility mode and tried installing I tunes again but I still had the same problem and Apple Mobile Device was not installed. Even if I don't have I Tunes shouldn't Windows pick up the I phone as say a mass storage or camera device?? '

    Please any help would really be appreciated as I need to sync my I phone asap.

  • Why is my laptop running Vista displaying limited connectivity?

    My Compaq laptop which I had for more than a year running Windows Vista is now all of a sudden displaying limited connectivity when I try and connect to the internet whether wireless or wired internet. It is really frustrating for me as I had virtually tried everything. This problem only just occurred 2 days ago and it has always been connected to the same ADSL broadband modem throughout this year and now all of a sudden it says limited connectivity. I tried resetting the network adapter, tired some programming and countless other ways that I found online but to no avail, I even tried the windows diagnose and repair tool and I also tried Microsoft but to no avail.

    Please any Help would really really, be appreciated.
