Resetting USB?Recently purchased a Blekin USB Wireless Network Adapter. When I put it in
the PC's USB socket I got a message that mentioned voltages and resetting. Now the software can't find the adapter. Do I need to reset the USB? Is that uninstalling and reinstalling? Trevor wrote:

Since you onlyhave one USB connection and that is taken up with the Belkin, I'm sorry but I don't know the answer. I'd Google the exact error message and if that doesn't help, contact Belkin tech support. In the meantime, does the system recognize any other USB devices if you plug them into that connector? I'm sorry that I was unable to help you with this. Malke

There is no error message. Belkin support won't help as the problem is with the USB connection in the PC. When I first put the Belkin in there was a message mentioning 'voltage' and 'reset', but since then nothing. I presiume the USB on the PC needs resetting in some way but I haven't been able to find out how. Trevor wrote:

You can get Knoppix from www.knoppix.net. You'll need a fast Internet connection to download it and third-party burning software to burn the .iso. Then boot with it. The default cursor action is a single-click instead of Windows' double-click. If you can't get any USB devices to be recognized in Knoppix, then the hardware has died. You haven't told us anything about the computer (desktop/laptop?), but if it is a desktop you can get around this by installing a PCI USB 2.0 controller. They are very inexpensive.

incorrectly to the motherboard.
