Hi all....
Until Thursday I was able to plug my phone (Nokia C2) into the front usb on the computer. It registered in 'My Computer, also box appeared stating 'open folder to view images'.
Now, every time I plug the phone in I get a message 'One of the usb devices being used is not being recognized.' I have plugged my Wireless headset into that usb port to charge , and all works ok. Did try the phone in another port, same result
I have reloaded Nokia software but to no avail. I am thinking about a System Restore, but can you tell me whether that restores the 'C' drive only, or does it restore all drives ( I have 5 installed)
System is Windows 7 64bit, 500gb 'C' drive, 8gb ram, 1 gb Nvidia graphics card (9800GT).

I did upgrade the graphic card drivers recently, would that cause it. (the board drivers are old nForce4 ) Would restoring change back the drivers ?
I checked the net, basically only found 'reboot' which does not work......or do you think it is the phone. It works perfect for calls, text, etc. Can they lose connectivity?

Any ideas appreciated, whether they work or not ( except saying 'get another phone !!!! )

uninstall usb drivers and then reinstall them

Its an old motherboard, do you mean the drivers that are probably on the m/b cd (if I can find it)

[Plomien]

you may find them on the manufacturers website, sometimes uninstalling and letting them install themselves can sort it

Reboot with the Nokia plugged in and switched on ready to go.

Knackered usb cable maybe?

dont try system restore..
 
"upgrade the graphic card drivers recently, would that cause it. "
 
it can..
 
in any case try another cable (+1), and also try uninstalling+re-installing usb drivers(+1)
 
if that still doesnt work, from bios check IRQ sharing.. and try to remove usb to another one.. you can disable serial port irq.. and use it for usb if mobo allows..

Device worked last week, fails this week, sounds like 'Patch Tuesday' - second Tuesday of each month Microsoft globally releases patches for auto update. Mine updated on Thursday (I have it on 'manual update').   Check your device manager for conflicts - press the Windows button  and type 'devmgmt.msc' into the search box, then look for yellow exclamation marks against devices.

To be honest though the first thing I would try is restoring back to before Tuesday, no it won't affect your data even if you had it on the same drive (I don't mean a full reinstall, which would delete the lot).  That's the easiest way. Then assuming it works again you can apply updates one by one to see which caused it. Type 'rstrui.exe' into the search box.

That's assuming bloody Windows has kept the restore point you need.

System restore not noted for being particularly robust in Windows - only use as last resort.  Have had to rebuild a lot of customers systems where system restore has corrupted something.

have you tried a soft reset on the phone, eg take the battery out and replace it again shortly after, might work !

[STMO123]

Lots of random suggestions on here, so.....have you tried giving it a damn good hiding?

[dbdb]

only problem I have had with system restore (quite often) is that either there is no restore for the date you need or the restore operation fails.  It has never caused corruption.  It is widely thought of as the first resort, which was what it was designed for.

ref to stemo's comment, I did drop a nokia 6150 in a puddle for at least 15 mins , took it home dried it out worked well, even when the ex wife bounced it off the tarmac. so beating it might just work !!

I think life and humans packed together is the primary cause of controversy
 
imo we have to learn living with that
