Re: [Blind-Computing] Computer suddenly doesn't recognize USBportordevice
Well, then, chances are that either there's a driver/hardware issue on that machine - if other USB devices don't want to work either, or the specific port itsself is a minor problem, but, yes, best is to test another USB connecting device first.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Computer suddenly doesn't recognize USBportordevice
OK What version of Windows are you using? I can give you step by step for re-installing your USB drivers on your machine for XP. I have actually copied this below from my web site. I had Vista taken off my machine so someone with Vista would have to check if the same steps would work with Vista. To do this Unplug all your USB devices with the exception of your keyboard and mouse if you use one. Go to Control Panel and then open the System applet. Pres control tab until you hear hardware. Press tab until you hear Device Manager. Press space to open this. Press tab once to go into a tree view of devices. You need to cursor down until you hear Universal Serial Bus controllers. Press the right cursor key to open this view. You now need to find the core USB driver for your PC. This may be named after your processor. On my PC this driver is called Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Highlight this line and press the delete key. Confirm that you want to delete the driver. Windows will immediately start to re-install it. After a few seconds Windows will recognise your keyboard and mouse. Exit device manager and restart your windows. After windows have completely reloaded start to plug in your USB devices one by one. As you would have cleared the windows database of devices there is a chance that any problems will now disappear as windows re-constructs it USB device database. If this does not work and your hardware is not faulty then I am afraid a system restore or windows re-install is indicated.

Hi, This means the Windows Installer, Nulsoft etc. or some uninstaller package has been removed in part, or is missing files or has been corrupted. There is no way at this point to uninstall the program correctly. If you're brave, it's on to deleting folders, shortcut and Registry entries dealing with the program.

He is right on target. Two Achilles' Heels By: Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson Thursday, May 07, 2009 Two sore spots could sink this administration. In my recent article Checkmate, I made the case that President Obama's grand strategy has outfoxed the opposition, dooming us all to a massive increase in the scope and power of Uncle Sam. Is the situation hopeless? Never! If Americans who believe in individual liberty and free markets rally to the cause, then we may some day look back on the current gloomy period as the Valley Forge winter of a new American revolution. The Achilles' heel of Obama is most likely the hubris that is common to those who seek nothing less than the total transformation of a society (of our economy, were Obama's exact words). In their consuming desire to be the Great Leader, such individuals shed restraint and grab impatiently for more power. In a society where people prize their individual rights and retain a residual distrust of Big Government, overreaching may prove to be Obama's fatal strategic miscalculation. In recent decades, Americans have been like frogs in the chef's pot. Just as frogs don't realize they are being boiled alive when the heat is turned up gradually, we Americans have been lulled into passivity by the gradual, decades-long expansion of government power. If we don't wake up and jump out of the cauldron, we, like the frogs, will be doomed-in our case, by losing our freedom and prosperity to socialistic Big Brother. Obama's bold power grabs are startling us, waking us out of our torpor, giving rise to tea parties, righteous indignation, and a renewed will to resist the encroachments of tyranny. Let's get the s word out of the closet and into the open. I abhor name-calling, and have never labeled President Obama a socialist-even after I heard through the grapevine that some Democrats were describing him as such at Washington cocktail parties. But since socialism is the specific term for government ownership of various

I had Vista taken off my machine so someone with Vista would have to check if the same steps would work with Vista. To do this Unplug all your USB devices with the exception of your keyboard and mouse if you use one. Go to Control Panel and then open the System applet. Pres control tab until you hear hardware. Press tab until you hear Device Manager. Press space to open this. Press tab once to go into a tree view of devices. You need to cursor down until you hear Universal Serial Bus controllers. Press the right cursor key to open this view. You now need to find the core USB driver for your PC. This may be named after your processor. On my PC this driver is called Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Highlight this line and press the delete key. Confirm that you want to delete the driver. Windows will immediately start to re-install it. After a few seconds Windows will recognise your keyboard and mouse. Exit device manager and restart your windows. After windows have completely reloaded start to plug in your USB devices one by one. As you would have cleared the windows database of devices there is a chance that any problems will now disappear as windows re-constructs it USB device database. If this does not work and your hardware is not faulty then I am afraid a system restore or windows re-install is indicated.

Works on another computer, and I need to find a USB device to plug in to this one to try that option. Hard drive has its own power supply, so don't need to power it from the computer.

Does the external drive have a power supply? Is there any sign that you can tell that power is going through to the unit? Are you able to see the power light come on? If not is there any activity that you can feel if the unit is powered on? If there is a power supply is this emitting heat or cold? If the drive is powered from the USB Port is there an optional connection to increase power to the drive? Have you installed any other devices since yesterday? Have you tried plugging the drive into another USB Port? Have you tried plugging another device into this Port to check it works - a USB Pen drive for example. Do you have access to a friend's computer to check to see if the drive works on another machine? If it is not a hardware or power issue There are steps for you to take to re-install your USB drivers which I can post. However this will obviously not work if there is a power or hardware
Re: [Blind-Computing] Removing File
The simple way is to install the program again if you have the instalation file and uninstall it without messing with the registry. Negoslav - Original Message - From: Jon C.

There is no way at this point to uninstall the program correctly. If you're brave, it's on to deleting folders, shortcut and Registry entries dealing with the program. A system restore and a registry export first are advisable.

It says it cannot remove because it cannot find the installer package. I look for any file with the same name in the search and I cannot find anything. I think this is some type of program with a virus of some sort.
