Hey guys,i have a lil problem with my laptop,its refuses to identify my usb cable,each time i insert it,it wont see it,pls is there any help on this?

Go to control panel, click add hardware and follow instructions.

or restart ur pc

Try another usb cable
Use another usb port
I guess your usb cable was working before now?

May be your laptop is blinded. . .or havin sight problem. GOGGLE it !

GOGGLE what??

Fadajasi, is this the 1st time of using the cable with the pc??
Have u installed the cable driver??
Does the usb port on the pc work with other usb devices??

It doesnt work with any usb device,its the first time am using and havent installed usb drive

Its a different story now,each time i insert the usb from phone to computer it tells me 'found new hardware' on the baron,but later display 'use must be part of the administration groups b4 u can install the hardware' given me a space to type the user name and password which i dont even know,i even have modem,dont just understand whats happening,could it be it has been lock from installation? Pls i do i bypass this or is there any way of hacking it?

wat device are u trying to connect to ur pc
go to device manager
uninstall usb root hubs drivers (unplug any usb devices before you do this)
restart your computer and it'll install the drivers for the root hubs
try connecting your usb device again
if it doesnt recognises it you might probs need a driver for your usb device

Please, don't mind all these people. Your prb is that u have to logon as an administrator for u to be able to install the device. What operating system are u using? Are in anyway connected to a server?

Thats exactly my problem,am nt connected to any server

Am on windows xp

You're now talking.

Its certain tht u have to login through ur Administrator acct before any software could be installed on ur System. All u have to do is login through Computeradministrator acct, insert ur USB cord again. The computer would recognise the hardware, install its software automatically (if its a memory device) and its ready to use. But if its not a memory device, u might need to install its driver. Note: u can only install software through the Computeradmin acct!!!

I dont know the administrator acct,dats the problem,i will always ask me for username and password.

I don't know the administrator acct,that is the problem,i will always ask me for username and password.

@Fadajasi
You need access the administrator login FIRST before you can download the usb driver. Depend on what kind of user account you have. Single user account (1st pic) or Multiple user accounts.(2nd pic) See two different kinds of Windows XP administrator on Welcome Screen on your computer/laptop look like this below:
