this message is appear in WinXP when the Win plug the new USB device



USB Device Not Recognized

one of the usb devices attached to this computer has Malfunctioned, & Windows does not recognize it
for assistance in solving this problem click this message


then when i click in this message its appear a box & tell me to replace the device

i try to
- put the usb cable in another device
- put USB Card in another PCI slot
- install HP Driver
- install another Windows Version
- test the USB card+USB cable + Printer in another computer & it work without any problem

 

Just a hunch, but older computers do not always support USB and when they do, it must be set in the CMOS. Try entering "setup" after restarting your computer, and see if you can find the spot to activate USB.
Hope this helps.

 

I tried to comment earlier but my post did not get to the website for some reason.
Many older computers do not recognize USB; those that do often have a setting in the BIOS to enable USB.
Enter Setup and check for the place to recognize USB and see if that doesn't work.
