    How do I reenable a USB port that I previously disabled?


    The USB port on the Device Manager application states that the Device Descriptor Request Failed. I have already tried disabling and reenabling it and restarting the computer. I have also tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and restarting the computer. All I know is that it is a Code 43 error with the USB Driver port. What can I do to fix this?

    :)

    Disable a USB Port

    Hi Eduardo

    Disabling that USB Port, may also disable any ports beside it, do you have USB ports on another part of your PC?

    Open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

    At the bottom of the device list, expand the 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' section

    How many devices have 'Hub' in the name, is there more than 1?

    If so, right click one f those, then choose Properties and choose the Driver tab, is there an option to disable that there?

    If that is the wrong hub, re-enable that and move to the next hub device, until you find the one for that USB port . . .

    Click next/OK as required to complete installation. Repeat the steps for all Intel USB devices. Finally click on each USB root device and press DEL to delete it, reply YES when asked. After deleting all USB root devices restart the computer.

    I hope this is detailed enough...
