I just put my old AMD XP-M system back together again for my dad to play
solitaire and surf the internet. The PC has 4 usb ports at the back and 2 at
the front. It had no problem in the past. The only difference is I added a
wireless mouse, usb wifi, usb hand write board, and usb TV turner for him.
I believe it's either the OS or the ports can't handle the power to run the
devices. The wifi and the mouse hardly being detected by the PC. Well,
both devices have their lights flashing and I am sure the drivers are properly
installed. Sometimes, it will work magically, sometimes not.
The strange thing is the USB icon (the one that says "you might want to
connect to a usb2.0 port") pops up repeatly at the taskbar. Again, it doesn't
come up all the time.
I don't feel like formatting the HD, what are the possible reasons this shit
happen to me? any quick fix?
The taskbar icon is the same as the bottom icon shown (the one highlighted in yellow)
