Using Windows, a reminder
I've got Windows XP installed on a Dell inspiron in my office for web testing. The OS is a sqeaky-clean install and contains all the patches. In addition I am running a firewall and antivurus. All that is ever asked of it is to let me KVM over to it every once in a while to load web pages in Internet Explorer. (rough life, right?)
Despite my simple requests it will still randomly tell me things like:
"USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem click this message"
...of course if the USB Device in question is a mouse, it makes it kind of tough to follow their cumbersome and useless troubleshooting advice.
