I was away from the computer a few hours, returned to this error:

USB device not recognized
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it."

The location is USB root hub (6 ports) and the one not working is "Unknown Device."

In Properties for the device it says no driver was loaded or installed. I tried updating but Windows says the driver is up to date.

This is just one of the several weird things happening with this machine. I've only had it 3 months. It's a Lenovo Y510. A few weeks ago, I repartitioned the drives.

I've been running Zone Alarm, just switched back to the Windows firewall & downloaded Spybot.

I appreciate any ideas or possible solutions.
