I would be grateful for any help with the following:
none of my USB devices (Ipod, mouse etc) are recognised. When I plug them in an error message comes up saying "usb device not recognised". I have had my computer for nearly 2 years and it has always been fine up to now. I used it Ok early yesterday evening and then went jout and when I got back home and went to update my ipod the message popped up. the mouse also stopped working.
Is there something I can download to solve this?
As I'm out of warranty I want to try and avoid calling Sony!!!
I'm just going to do the tune up and virus test as you suggest - but my camera now works as does my mouse in the usb but the Belkin thing and the ipod are not recognised (the ipod was plugged into the belkin thing when i had the big crash the other night). yet both those things work in other computers.
This may sound a daft suggestion but has been known to solve your particular problem. Turn off the computer and remove the plug from the wall socket, leave it for half an hour and then plug back in and re-boot.
A million thank you to everyone who helped me - its now working! Whether it was running the virus scans or unplugging it for half an hour who know - the main thing is its now back to normal.
Once again, many thanks for taking the time out to give your suggestions and help me out.
No seriously disengaging the power causes a hard reset yeah???
As I understand, it is to do with letting all the capacitors fully discharge, but quite honestly the technical side of that is beyond me.....:smileyhypnotized:
