Unknown Device - USB error Code 43

Anonymous

Dell XPS m1330 running Win7 Pro 32-bit, service pack 1.

I have had this problem seemingly forever but have been ignoring it, as it doesn't seem to affect the performance of my laptop, but now I'm wondering why it has happened.

I have 7 Intel ICH8 host controllers, a Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse driver, USB Composite Device, USB Mass Storage Device and 7 USB Root Hubs that all seem to work fine, I have no problems using any devices I plug in to the machine, but there is an Unknown Device, with no hardware/device details available, reporting a Code 43.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled all the USB drivers, didn't help, in fact it made it worse as it seems to have lost my fingerprint reader (the reader is installed but apparently not connected to anything). There are no new driver updates. I have no idea what the Unknown Device is referring to, other than Port#0002 Hub#0001.

As I said, all external USB ports work fine, and until I tried fixing it, the Fingerprint reader was fine as well, I don't know what else should be on USB, so don't know what to fix.

Any help?

    Hi,

    This issue might have caused due to device compatibility issues. I would like to know some information about this issue so that we could assist you further.

    1. What is the make and model number of the device that you have connected to the computer?
    2. Do you get any error code or error message?

    I would suggest you to check if there are drivers available for the device that is not recognized by the computer. If there is any driver software for it, then try installing it compatibility mode and check if it works for you.

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows:

    Please reply with the status of the issue, so that we can confirm that the issue is resolved.
