    Hey all,

    I have an Inspirion 600m and an annoying problem. No matter what I do, every few seconds a "USB Device Not Recognized" message pops up. This seems to only happen when I have the wireless card turned on though. I have tried everything, up to and including reinstalling my OS. Any suggestions out there? I really don;t want to pay Dell $200 to tell me how NOT to fix it!!

    Thanks :confused:

    Have you checked the device manager to make sure that all of your drivers are installed?

    Are you using an internal wireless card?

    Yes, I checkd device mgr. All's fine there (when i get the message, it claims unkown device in mgr, and there are no drivers listed for it).
