I'm not sure but maybe you have to reformat the drive! Right click on the drive and then select format. Be careful, if you have any files there it will deleted. Hope this helps.

They put old used drives in these. So it's potluck if you get one that actually works, or will last long. When I opened mine up (I bought 2) they both had drives from 2007 in them. I bought these as new at full price. If I wanted a well used 2007 drive I could have got one for almost nothing.

At some point your settings might have been changed. Or accidentally clicked the "do not show again".

I found that I did have trouble if i tried to plug into an external USB extension and had to go directly into the computer - but it sounds like you already did that so I'm not sure. Did you try to just bring up a Windows explorer session and see if there is new drive listed?

I don't know. I just plugged mine in (Windows XP and Windows 7) and it works fine.

All I had to do is plug in the usb it is hidden in the mouse and my computer recognized it but mine only works part of the time and after 2 weeks stopped working all together. Cindy

I think you have a dud---DOA. Mine worked as a "plug and play." Sorry I can not be more helpful.

When you plug something into it and it does not work try resetting it. If that does not work try replacing it.

Don't use the disk, just plug it in, and it should work. If not look online for the driver download.

i had the same problem, you could try an get a converter USB cord and see if that works for you. :-)

Make sure you have the USB driver fully up to date and if you are using a USB hub that is have enough power for it.

Yes you should be able to plug it into your laptop. Just make sure you have the software on the laptop.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems. My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

You have to go into your control panel and change your power settings, or you may need a new adapter . This happened to me years ago. Check YouTube for solutions

I didn't. I just plugged and it worked. I think this is the way newer operating systems work. I remember older OS you had to download the latest drivers to get it to work.

My cable did nothing at all when plugged it into the laptop and then to the tv. It is possible I got a bad cable, and it just didn't work. I also got a new tv and the hdmi port on my laptop works when i use an hdmi cable to connect to the tv from the laptop. I didn't bother sending it back or anything because it was so cheap

That's weird, my mouse worked right when I plugged it in. Make sure its on (switch on the bottom), plugged in (wireless USB reciever), and the light on your mouse is on. If all of those are working, then I have no idea.

I had some problems too, until I connected the power cable to the adapter and it worked for me after that. It seemed that if you didn't use the adapter with the power cable and turned it on, it wouldn't work. Hope this would work for you.

Do you have it plugged into an external USB hub? Try plugging it into your computer directly since an external/unpowered hub may not have enough power. Also try a different USB cord.
