When I connect any device (digital camera, USB Memory stick) to the USB port
, i cannot get the device to function.
It will create the 'Remove the USB Device Safely' popup however.
In device manager all the USB related items are running properly.
It just doesn't open up the usual selection menu - where you are asked if
you want to open folder, view photos etc.

I have tried updating drivers, but this does not work either.

Click to expand...

It sounds like you've turned "automatically do something or other" off. Can
you access the device from Windows Explorer?
 
No, I cannot access the removable disk from either Windows Explorer, or by
using My Computer!.
 
Hi

I'm sorta new to this but i have been having similar problems with my USB
devices i have tried the fore mentioned remedy to no avail. The symptoms of
my problem are similar but not the same, When ever i connect my ipod or
digital camera instead of being greeted by the little chime and a program
starting all i get is the safely remove icon. Then when i go to " My computer
to try and activate either device, (they appear as removeable disk H and I)
the message " The disk drive in H: or I: is not formatted do you want to
format. Now i tried the format once with the ipod and it was unsuccesfull but
i will not try that with my camera is there are way to many important photo's
to loose. I have tried many times unsuccesfully to reload all of the drivers
for the ipod and camera i have even tried un installing the usb drivers. I am
at wits end and i need to move the files off my camera as my partner is due
to give birth any day now and i need the space.

Any help would be greatly appreciated


Donny
