Re: Acer Travelmate 280 USB Error (please help i need them to work asap)

Hi,
Are you talking just the USB ports (Nothing connected to the USB ports)? If you have something connected to the USB port disconnect it.
If you are using XP SP1 or higher then the drivers are there. If you just have XP (no SP) then do a MS update to SP2.
Open the device manager> right click on the error>uninstall>then Reboot.
Check in the device manager again to see if the errors are gone.

Hope this helps.
Bill

What service pack do you have (SP1, SP2)?
If you windows is not genuine, you must activate it Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools> Activate Windows.
If you are unable to activate, you may not get the updates to get the USB working.
you need SP1 or higher.
Who "redid" this computer (a friend, computer shop)?
Was this an illegal copy of XP? If so we are unable to help as it is against the rules.
