USB ports have power, but send no data  

Hi, I recently installed a fresh copy of windows 7 onto my new laptop and ran through the usual routine, the first thing I did of course was plug in my mouse as I can't stand to use a track pad. It works fine and dandy but after I instal my drivers using driver pack solution, which has worked for my desktop, the USB ports cease to transmit data. The optical mouse still glows a bright red so I know that it at least supplying power. After trying all the ports with a mouse and then a USB drive, which was working in the same computer earlier, I have concluded that no data is being transmitted through them. To my surprise the bios correctly detects my USB drive and identifies it with it's product name "SanDisk Cruzer Edge".. Now that the problem has been narrowed down to the software, I assume it has something to do with the drivers. What can I do now? Laptop is an Acer Aspire V3-772g, sorry for now posting specs, for I am on mobile right now.


Many thanks,


Moonrobin

Which driver is the USB driver?

Hi moonrobin,


Its rightly suggested by "alphanumeric" you need to install chipset driver for your system. Please check the link below for downloading drivers for your system:

You may have provided the incorrect model as I am unable to find the supplied model number.

Thanks for your help guys, but I have resolved the issue on my own. Acer does not provide windows 7 driver support and thus I had to look for drivers by myself. I ended up downloading a USB 3.0 driver from another company's website (Asus) as it was the two laptops were both running basically the same specs and chipset. The driver resolved the issue entirely. Below is a link to the driver that worked for me:


Hub de raiz Intel(R) USB 3.0 Driver Download for WIN7/64bits - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. K45A (K/1.0- SKU:ASUS-NotebookSKU)
