Hello,
I do not know why this happens, but have you tried the trick of opening
the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), selecting View|Show Hidden
Devices and deleting the following:
'Disk Drives' section - all USB drives that are grayed-out
'Human Interface Devices' section - all USB HID class devices that are
grayed-out
'Keyboards' - any USB keyboards that are grayed-out (should probably
have been covered by HID stuff, but just in case)
'Portable Devices' - any devices that are grayed-out
'Storage Volumes' - any volumes that are grayed-out
'USB Controllers' - everything
and then rebooting to let Windows re-detect all the hardware? Oh, do
*not* delete any device drivers if prompted to do so by Device Manager,
as Windows will need them in order to provide support for the hardware
as it gets re-detected.
Regards,

Hello everyone,
I am having an issue with the USB ports on my T60. ?The T60 is on a
port replicator and is currently running Windows Vista Professional.
?When first booted up, USB drives will run normally. ?However after
some time, sometimes several hours or days, I will loose access to
USB drives. ?I have mostly noticed this with my iPod and iPad, where
they will not sync anymore, but lately it has also been happening
with USB hard drives as well where I can't access the drive. ?At
first I thought I was having issues with the Apple drivers since it
mostly afflicted those devices, but lately it has happened with
other USB devices. ?At first, after a restart, the issues would go
away for a while, but now it seems a restart is hit or miss,
sometimes it will work and sometimes it won't. ?Does this sound like
an issue with the USB drivers, or could this possibly be a hardware issue?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
Guillermo
