Top 5 Consumer Complaints — iYogi Reveals the Five Primary Issues that Users Face with USB Devices


NewYork (PRWEB) June 08, 2011

iYogi, the provider of on-demand remote tech support services, released a report on ‘Top 5 Consumer Complaints’ related to USB devices. The use of USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices is quite common and millions of users across the world use them. These devices are designed to be plugged/ unplugged into the computer system without affecting the functioning or power on mode of a PC. This includes hardware devices like cameras/ web cams, scanners, etc.

Sometimes, the port wherein the USB device is plugged in may stop responding. There can also be issues if the device is repeatedly inserted or removed, without being stopped properly. This latest iYogi reviews series on ‘Top 5 Consumer Complaints’ addresses the most common USB devices related issues that users face based on the feedback from iYogi’s large subscriber base. iYogi continuously monitors and publishes the most common complaints to help people solve their day-to-day problems related to technology.

iYogi reviews the top 5 complaints related to USB devices:


USB not detected/ functioning For a USB device to be detected, there must be an appropriate driver installed on the computer system. Windows operating systems usually come with the necessary drivers installed or they can be automatically downloaded from ‘Windows Update’. Most USBs have a plug-and-play functionality, wherein they install the necessary drivers by default as soon as they are plugged into the PC. Windows ‘Device Manager Utility’ can be used to manage and control USB settings. There can possibly be two instances if USB does not work after plugging in; either Windows does not find a driver for the USB device or Windows does not recognize it. If Windows installs a device driver automatically, there is a notification indicating that the device is ready to use and if it is unable to detect the driver needed, it prompts the user to insert the disc containing the driver that comes with the device. The drivers can also be downloaded from the device manufacturer’s website. The problem can also persist if any of the following: device, driver, USB port or power supply is defective or if there is not enough power supply to USB hubs.

Note: All the drivers must be compatible with Windows version installed on the PC. Do not download drivers that are compatible with other versions.

USB device not recognized immediately after standby/ hibernation The computer might have difficulty in recognizing a USB device once it is plugged into a Windowsbased computer system, immediately after the computer resumes either from standby or hibernation mode. In such cases, users will be prompted with a warning message “Unrecognized device has been found.” This chiefly happens because when the computer resumes, there is a time span of 5 to 10 seconds, when the ‘Selective Suspend’ feature of the USB driver interferes with detection of the new USB device. To resolve the issue one must unplug the device and then plug the device back into the computer.

Lack/ Non-functional USB 2.0 port in computer Sometimes, high-speed USB 2.0 ports might not work due to the lack of correct drivers installed for the ports in the computer system. There might also be a possibility of ports being faulty. If an external USB hub is plugged into the PC, the chances of it being out of order or lacking the proper drivers are always a possibility. One must ensure the proper functioning of USB ports or hubs by checking for ‘Device Manager’.

AutoPlay automatically opens a program When a USB device is plugged into a computer, a dialog box is shown that is called the AutoPlay box. AutoPlay sometimes, automatically opens a program that might not be required by the user. To never see the AutoPlay dialog box again you can follow some simple steps: Click ‘Start’ > Click ‘Control Panel’ > Click ‘Hardware and Sound’ > Open AutoPlay. Now, select the ‘Take no action’ option, to ensure that the AutoPlay dialog box is not visible again. Moreover, if one wants to choose an action each time he/ she plugs in a device or insert a disc, ‘Ask me every time’ option can be selected and a program that needs to be automatically opened each time can be chosen.

Device cannot be stopped Once the purpose of using the USB device is fulfilled, users would want to stop and remove the device. However, many-a-times “The device cannot be stopped right now” error message is displayed. The most common reason is that a running program has ‘opened’ files on the device drive. The most annoying part is that this often happens even when all the programs on the desktop are closed. The device gets locked due to one of the background processes running on the computer, like antivirus software, etc. ‘USB Safely Remove’ icon on the system tray helps to detect device locking due to several reasons and also to resolve the issue.

What iYogi has to say about it:

“USB devices have caught on in popularity because of their versatility and ease of use, and problems with a USB device or port can sometimes bring our digital lives to a grinding halt” said Vishal Dhar, President, Marketing and co-founder of iYogi. “Our tech experts are regularly helping customers resolve problems with their USB connections.”

Clemmons, NC (PRWEB) February 9, 2012

Steven Marian University faculty is a dedicated service and students seeking a Master of Arts in Elementary Education in Indianapolis, Indiana. To help you reach your goals, and continue providing students with whom he works, he turns to TextAloud, the popular text to speech software from NextUp.com.


Steven

discovered TextAloud is easy and affordable PC software that reads text aloud almost any computer for study or entertainment, natural-sounding computer speech – from emails and websites with articles, PDF files, documents and more. TextAloud directly from your PC, or you can even export the text to be spoken audio files for listening via iPod?, Fire discussions?, IPhone?, Tablets, MP3 player or any number of popular handheld devices.

talented teacher and a student pursuing her Masters in Education, Steven has taught reading programs in Indianapolis direct instruction for grades 3-6 and also worked on the language development of young students English (Ellen). He was interested in multisensory approaches to reading and is certified in teaching reading Orton Gillingham multi-sensory. In a unique position to explore TextAloud students and teachers, TextAloud is performed every time Steven was a valuable tool to help students to improve their basic reading and listening.


Steven

first turned to TextAloud, but only because of his love for reading. In my studies in college, I realized I had to read more books than there was extra time in the day, he said. I was surprised to discover that if I use TextAloud, not only could read much faster, but my understanding is greater. In the event that once struggled to cope with the demands of reading my course work, allowing the use of text to speech at the conclusion of my free time with all the required reading. The software soon had an impact on their overall level of preparation for classes at school. He feels there’s a big difference in how you, as a student, upon entering the classroom after reading every book and article of the teachers needed, he adds. You no longer have to sit behind the person ahead of you to hide, and you always have a good answer to each question. Trust is the luck!

a study of the concentration of primary school is committed to the issue of child literacy Steven. He devoted himself to congratulate TextAlouds skills guided reading programs to increase learning opportunities for students of different readings and Ellen. We are privileged to live in a time when the boundaries between literary books, and those comments will come down with reading disabilities, Steven. Society is rapidly moving towards digitizing books that creates new possibilities for presentation. Because some students need the help of vocalizations to read effectively, like text to speech, a solution to comply with the experience of fluency that deciphers the words as they are read. This combination allows students to understand the benefits, while improving the four skills of reading other important phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary and language skills. He adds, TextAloud can also be a challenge for advanced readers, too.

several key features of TextAloud soon became an integral part of the hospitality of Stevens, work and study routines, away, with only a short email, thanks NextUp.coms friendly support staff. Technical support is excellent and very supportive Steven data points are conveniently available on the website of NextUp.com. TextAloud found easy to use and adapt according to the user, and the ability of programs to convert text into audio files to listen soon according to Stevens favorite. Whether for sport, became the go or just relaxing in the park, I can always listen to the books I’ve loaded the sound files to my MP3 player TextAloud.


Steven

also uses the software for writing, editing tool TextAloud regular and vigorous. Like many other users have also discovered that capture more spelling errors and grammatical errors, when I hear the vocalization of the text, he adds. Your use of the software has been allowed to turn constantly writing projects that were free of errors. I could not have done so well without text to speech.

Steven was also the flexibility and adaptability of the programs to be invaluable, as it progressed, he spent advice to other teachers and students. As TextAloud you can change the speed of your voice, I recommend you experiment with respect to the speed of listening, he said. The text display while listening to the auditory component, lets you zip through reading, an elaborate strategy to use especially when I’ve read the review of material before. Sometimes they will reset the text size, when he learned that he had read larger fonts more quickly. But if the cut, which slow down whole, and reduce the amount of pressure, so it can check the context. When working with students (as he later showed in his presentation of the thesis), Steven uses contrasting colors, backgrounds, text, an approach that has proven its ability to maximize visual interest.


While listening to his reading tour

Steven in the popular voices of Mike and Crystal AT & T Natural Voices. He noted that Mike’s voice is his favorite because of its almost human qualities. Before any trip or vacation, Steven now routinely uses TextAloud MP3 files to listen to several books on his travels to create, and my wife told friends that AT & T to Mike’s traveling companion for our family road trips! For playing MP3 files, Steven uses a Sony Walkman NWZ-S545, and runs on your laptop, HP Compaq nc8430 with Windows XP one? TextAloud. TextAloud has improved my productivity in reading and writing, he said. If I use the software, I read more and more, what I read. When my eyes need a break, you can close and relax while still listen.


Steven was so deeply convinced of the possibility of software

primary, held his Masters research project culminated in TextAloud! The influence of text to speech in reading comprehension among fourth and 5 High Capacity Class students: the impact of large text the word can have students improve reading comprehension shown palpable in his dissertation. Steven is not only used to complete your action research TextAloud and the thesis, but also uses extensive video TextAloud to work as part of their final presentation of research at the University Mariana. Students soon to readers of teachers, the sooner they can become independent learners, he said. My career goal is to become informed and trained in the use of research based on best practices in primary education. Thanks to the innovations of developers NextUp teachers need better tools to make learning accessible for students more productive.
