faulty usb port and shutting down problems
Try shut-down,on starting tap the F1/Help key,enter the
BIOS,go to the exit area,select,set up default config- uration,or load set-up defaults,then exit saving changes 90 mns for a download! In windows updater,try the hard ware updates section,(Lower Left)to view hardware dwnl- oads on specific devices. -----Original Message----- my parents bought a windows xp home edition computer last christmas. the usb port has never worked, not for our printer or our handspring visor cradles. i checked to make sure the port was attached to the motherboard, plus cleaned all the dust inside the computer case. i went to device manager, which said that the usb root hub and the universal host controller are both working properly. i tried uninstalling the hardware and then reinstalling it, but the port is still not recognized. i tried to get into bios and check the irq for usb but i can't even restart my computer properly to get the prompt for bios -- the computer hangs at "windows is shutting down"! i checked the windows support site and found a few updates/service packs that claim to fix the shutting down problem at least, but each take approximately 90 min. to download. is there anything i can try/do that would be a lot simpler??? -leyjfk . |
