Hey all,
I've been a little stumped on a recent problem. I was turning on my laptop at one point and was trying to perfect some of my tunes. I was using a Logitech headset which has really decent sound quality, so very usable for what I'm doing. I suddenly get a message saying that Windows has updated the system and needs to restart. So, a little annoyed, I save everything and let the system restart.
When the system restarts, I suddenly get the error message: "USB Device not recognized one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it, for assistance solving this problem, click this message."
Click on message and, of course, Microsoft doesn't have an effing clue what to do (go figure)
I couldn't continue work because I was at a public WiFi hotspot and wasn't in the mood to disturb others while I tune a synth until it sounded good.
I think it's just a temporary issue and have since restarted my laptop numerous times, but still achieving the same results.
So lucky me, I have a machine with XP at my disposal. I finally get my chance to test it, but the same error message pops up. I'm a little upset because it is a very decent headset and it was only after the update the issues happened. It's like Windows decided it wasn't going to work and wanted me to fork even more money over to buy a new headset - is that wasteful or what?
I did what anyone should do when official sources are empty, I asked Google and only found about 3 people with the same issues, but no one with a solution.
So, does anyone here know of a possible solution to this? I've already got Windows to 'update the drivers' but it says that it's already installed. :(
I fortunately have an older headset on hand, but it's not quite as good because it doesn't block out external sound like my other headset (which is nice when producing music)
Any help greatly appreciated. :)
