Just got a Gateway 350X with XP Home and today when not online I got a popup
that says
"one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, windows
does not recognize it.
Then into details it shows USB ROOT HUB(4 ports)
1-unused port
2-unused port
3-unknown device
4-unused port
I only have 2 usb ports and haven't used either yet.
It says to try the ports to see if there is a problem.
Any thoughts?
 
One possability - a lot of phoney messages have been circulating using
things like the w32swen.a virus. they are all over the internet and this
might just be one of those messages. Usually it is in the form of an email
but, who knows?
