    Usb device not recognized error


    I have a laser projector, and i control it with my windows seven notebook by usb.
    Problem is, sometimes by a static shock of other devices or by other causes i do not know of, the notebook suddenly refuses to work with the usb drive anymore and the projector freezes.

    but here is the part i want to solve. after replugging the usb drive windows says that the usb device is not regonised.... after plugging out and waiting 2 minutes and then replug makes it work again...if i do it sooner then usally it still shits about the device not being regonised.

    is there a way to fix this?

    thanks.

    That depends on what the real cause is... Sometimes immediately removing that specific usb connection in your Devices settings can be faster. But not a nice solution.

    What makes you think static shock has something to do with causing the problem? Are you sure it is not a powersaving issue on your system? That would be the most logical reason. Or a devicedriver conflict?

    all powersaving functions are off but it could be windows is so selfish it still has some power saving shit online.

    static shock because i have a fog machine wich draws alot of watts, and the button to turn it on is with the ground cable.

    A solution that sometimes works:

    Buy an external externally powered USB hub. In other the words, the usb hub has a separate source of power and does not use the laptop for power.

    Well, maybe....? What triggered me is that you say "the projector freezes". Could you be a bit more specific on what exactly happens? As I understand it, you use a usb device that controls it. What is that exactly? Do you have a wireless device which, wirelessly connected to a usb receiver on your notebook, helps you stand and go through presentations on a beamer? If that is the case (or something like it) are you sure exactly what freezes? A projector normally never does. But it could be:
    • A Powerpoint-like presentation that froze
    • the usb device itself froze
    • the whole notebook froze
    • etc


    For example: have you tried going on with the presentation using the keyboard on the notebook?

    its a laser projector. for lasershows. not for powerpoint.
    the device just freezes. i think its because windows is not sending anything through the usb port anymore.

    I understand that but what I'm trying to check is if windows itself is freezing up or if it's just the port....
