Hello
I have a toshiba 5 months old and none of my usb ports work. I dont think they ever worked. When i plug my mouse in it works but if it sits for 20 seconds then i have to move it up and down and around to make it work again. IT freezes. Then when i plug my usb modem in the it says installing drivers. which it should i have my own. i cant make it install the right ones. then My mp4 player doesnt work it just says unrecognized. thanks
tell me what info you need
Open Device Manager, CLICK the plus sign to expand the section on USB components, right click on each one select Uninstall. In other words, remove all of them. Then, restart your computer and let Windows reinstall it's default USB drivers. Now, does your mouse work?

Is that computer under warranty?That didnt help it. weird. The warrant i believe is over with. It is german and i dont think it was had a GOOD warrant.Does Device Manager show yellow triangles with exclamation marks in them, indicating unknown devices or devices with problems?

Do you have a PS/2 mouse you can use with that laptop?

Has that delay when you connect your mouse always been there, since it was new?

What protections (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware) do you use?

How much memory does that computer have? What processor speed?Well if i plug in my Mp3 player then it has ! marks. The mouse has a Ps/2 adapter. I shall go try. the laptop doesnt have a PORT so never mind. The mouse has always had the problem. when i plug my mouse in to that computer (the computer with the problem is my SISTERS) then it doesnt work the same way. So it is not the mouses problem. She has NO firewall or antivirus or antispyware programs. She is a FOOL. She has 512 ram i believe. celeron M 2.40 ghz i believe again.
