    I have my USB reporting as Malfunctioned


    I have just installed Windows Vista, I dont have broadband in my laptop
    i connect it through Dial up with the help of an USB modem. Im facing a
    problem for the second time, Its a newly installed operating system, the
    internet has been connecting very well for the first 2 days after
    installing the operating system, Then when i connect it again with the
    usb it says , USB not recognized and it has been malfunctioned. I
    thought there is a problem in USB so i Formatted my system and again re
    installed win vista, intially for 2 to 3 times it was quite and then the
    error started to come back. As my USB not recognized and malfunctioned,
    how to solve this problem does anyone here in this forum have
    experienced a similar kind of situation.

    You are not alone in this USB device recognition problem. The only
    advice I can give is to unplug, wait fifteen seconds, then replug the
    device. Do this until you give up or the device is recognized.

    Alternatively, choose another USB port.

    In the event that the device is recognized, do not remove the device
    from that port unless the computer is shut down. Then, do not replug
    the device to the computer unless the computer is shut down.
