| Guest | Connecting external USB hardware I'm having problems when i try to connect different things, via the USB ports. When i connect my MP3 flashplayer (Creative Muvo) it finds it and adds the extra harddrive, and the same happends when i connect my Maxtor external harddrive. But when i try to connect a Seagate harddrive, a HP digital camera (both as disc drive, and digital camera) Windows Vista tryes to find the drivers at windows update, and then fail to find them and the thing isnt useable... What can be the solution to this problem? |
