win 7 not recognizing usb devices
the issue here is I have several usb devices(external HDD and flash drives), when I insert the devices into the usb port either of 2 things happens, it takes at least 20-30 seconds to show or nothing happens(in this case I can sometimes get the device to be recognized if I go into administrative tools-computer management-disk management and assign a drive letter) I am running win7 64bit on my laptop with 4gb mem and 500gb HDD. the laptop is only about 5 months old and this only started happening about a month ago, before the items used to "pop right up". I dont have this issue on my desktop (win7 32 bit) thanks
