hi all,

I bought an Infra Red port to transfer data from my PC to Mobile phone. The IR device has to be connected to USB port. The pc is not detecting the new device. Tried to install manually, doesnt work either.

I also tried putting a USB-Serial convertor (Nokia DKU cable). Windows is not identifying that one too. The OS is Windows XP Professional edn.

How do I know whether the USB port is working fine?

Dual boot should NEVER lead to "unstability" .. if it does, it will not be at the "after boot" stage as it is in your case.

A well configured dual boot system is as good as 2 PCs.

Have you used any other devices on the port? If they work, then obviously the port is good. Test the device on anohtr PC, then u can decide if the device is good or not.

In case u never have used any device on your PC.. and donnt know if USB works or not..

Go to device manager and check if you have the USB controller, USB root hub(s) etc listed. See that there is no exclamation mark etc next to it. If the USB devices are not listed, then USB may be disabled in the BIOS. Go to the appropriate section in BIOS (usually INtegrated Peripherals) and check.


Another point... check teh installation procedure for the device. Unless you install the drivers from teh cd taht came with the device, the thing (usually) wont get detected.


And yes incase your problem is solved by the advice of any person on the forum, or even by some 1 not on the forum, tell us here how it got solved (like rohit has) this will add to our knowledge.

Better pick up a 5/6 channel card if you get a 5.1. You will loose out on the latest games else .. In songs you wont feel the difference, but the channels are split for surround system in dolby movies and/or games.

I think the virus accumulates the emails. so if anyone has been infected and has yahoogroups email in his OE, then that will be sent to the yahoogroups. with 1000s of them as memebers, chances of someone again getting infected is high, with the result that the worm now has many many emails to trouble.
