Hi there on my laptop i keep getting this error message when i insert anything into the usb ports. No matter what ive tried i still get the same error message.
Any idea's what i can do to try and fix it?

Thanks.
 
The laptop has 3 ports, the 2 on one side both say the same when anything is inserted. The other one works fine.
 
Well i've just tried a mouse in one of the ports and it works but nothing happens in the other port! Looking like the usb card may be buggered.
Thanks for the help guys!
 
Right guys, i got another usb board and fitted this. Plugged something in and its coming up with the same error! Surely it cant be a worn usb port afterall. Anyone know what it could be?

Thanks

remove usb drivers from device manager...and that means ALL of them? including the chipset drivers...then reboot and it should reinstall fresh copies

Trouble is, as quick as i uninstall the drivers. before i get time to do anything they are getting re installed..
 
Yeah according to windows all the latest drivers are installed. There doesn't seem to be any drivers for the usb or the motherboard on the Toshiba support/drivers page.
 
Right then an update with brilliant news!!
Tonight i though the only thing i didn't change was the cable, so i was going to do that. When i pulled the laptop apart and looked at the cable, i could see that it was slightly cocked over. Removed the cable and re inserted it, built the laptop back up and hey presto all working as it should.
Now im unsure how this happened because it was my brothers laptop and the usb's stopped working for him ages ago and since i have done a reinstall.
But anyway just want to say thanks to all you guys for helping out and maybe its something i shiuld have checked first!!
Now just to sort the battery out :P
