Essentially, my PC won't recognize my GoGear Opus MP3 player (or iPod nano). However, I am using a USB mouse and keyboard at the moment with no problem. I had this same problem on this PC when I had Vista. I upgraded to 7 hoping this issue would be solved, but it is still there.

I was having the same problem with my ipods. I then, just by chance, decided to use a different cable and to my surprise, this fixed the problem. Both cables appear identical and both cables are original apple ipod cables. I was able to use both cables in my previous computer. However can only use one with my new computer running Windows 7. Hope this helps.
Makavali,
I had code 43 problems with my usb ports until I found a thread on MSI's website. My front panel usb ports connected to a 9 pin usb header on the motherboard. Only 8 pins are needed. If pin 9 has a black ground wire then remove it. I didnt give this fix much hope but it fixed my problems! Good luck.

People on this thread seem to be having two separate problems.
I'm not affiliated with these forums in any official way, but things might go better if we separate the two problems. If all your devices are working despite Unknown Device messages, head over to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/unknown-device-usb-error-code-43/27bb21a5-5c93-48ae-b2a6-eb55c7f9174e?page=1&tm=1336711036908 .
If you have a device that doesn't work when you plug it in, stay here. Can we do that?
i am also using win7 ultimatex64. I tried what you did but i got this error "device driver software was not sucessfully installed."
This is exactly the same problem that I am experiencing. Tried about 50 different solutions listed throughout the web, but nothing works. Now i just leave the popup on and live with it.
horrible.
