Hi everyone :)



I'm having a serious problem with a ''USB NOT RECOGNIZED ERROR''

whenever i plug a

usb device into any of the four usb ports on my laptop. This started

happening about a week ago

and i've since being trying all sorts to fix this issue. I'm using a

laptop



Fujitsu siemens amilo li 1718

Vista home premium 32 bit

Processor - genuine intel(R) CPU T2130 @1.86 GHz 1.87 GHz

Ram - 1918 Mb



I have tried uninstalling all the USB ports and hub in device manger a

million times and again and again in safe mode.

All the drivers on my mother board are up to date. I have created that

registry hack in the regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Usb -----

'DisableSelectiveSuspend and gave it a value of 1'

Uninstalled all the usb devices in programs and features which was a

total of one. Again reinstalled all usb controllers and Hubs

in device manager. REBooted. Tried plugging in USB devices i have never

used and still no luck.



It was suggested to delete the infcache.1 in windows or rename it to

infcache.bak, rebooted and still the same problem.

I have also tried shutting down my laptop, unplugging the power and

battery and letting it sit over night for two nights in a row but no

luck there.



Uninstalled windows, deleted everything off the old copy and still the

same.



I downloaded a driver wizard called DRiverWhiz to make sure all drivers

were up to date and scanned the laptop. It came back with a few driver

not

up to date, like the wireless card and ethernet port which i then

updated through device mgr(not important) but at the very bottom there

was a category called

''unplugged'' Devices (Out of date : 0 ) and under this it showed -

Unknown Device - Port_#0001.Hub_#0003. There is nothing plugged into

this port and this device does not

show up under device manager. I have rebooted several times with

nothing plugged in and this is always the case. When i plug in a usb

device into any port this unplugged device

dissappears in driver whiz and then an unknown device shows under the

USB controllers section. In device manager now there is a unknown

device under usb and when

i unplug the device and scan for new hardware changes the unknown

device stays there and if i unplug the usb and plug it into another usb

port i now get two unknown devices even after

a scan for hardware changes and so on until i ininstall or reboot. If i

uninstall the unknown device in device manager while the usb is

unplugged and then scan new hardware changes

it will reinstall the unknown device untill i reboot.



No viruses either



From the driver whiz help menu i tells me that an unplugged device is



What is an "Unplugged" device?

An "Unplugged" device is any type of plug and play [Wikipedia]

device that is currently not attached to your computer. Devices like

cameras, MP3 players, and USB drives that are

unplugged will show up in "Unplugged Devices" in the Scan Result

screen.





You may notice old hardware that has been replaced in your system

in "Unplugged Devices". To fix this problem you will need to install a

registry cleaner [Google].





Ok, so i installed and registered a full version of UNIBLUE registry

booster and scanned the registry, and cleaned all errors but one

remains unfixable everytime i run it,

don't think it's related but will show anyway:



Entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cpuz132

Value name: ImagePath

Value:

\??\C:\Users\Protools\AppData\Local\Temp\cpuz132\cpuz132_x32.sys

Reason: The value ImagePath in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/cpuz132 contains

an invalid path

/??/C:/Users/Protools/AppData/Local/Temp/cpuz132/cpuz132_x32.sys



Not sure what the problem is but if someone can spot something please

let me know...





Thanks in advance



Gareth
