Computer Hangs or Restarts When You Connect USB Device 3

• When you select a specific device in Device Manager and then click the Properties button, you see a property sheet. The property sheet has a General tab.

NOTE: Some devices may have other tabs besides the General tab. Not all property sheets have the same tabs; some devices may have a Resource tab, Driver tab, and Settings tab, or some combination of these.

At the top of the property sheet, there is a description of the device. When you click the Resource tab, the window in the middle of the tab indicates which resource types are available for the selected device.

The list box at the bottom contains a Conflicting Device list. This list indicates a conflict with an error code.
• Note the Use Automatic Settings check box. If Windows successfully detects a device, this check box is selected, and the device should function correctly. However, if the resource settings are based on Basic Configuration (where is any number from 0 to 9), it may be necessary to change the configuration by selecting a different basic configuration from the list. If the particular configuration you want for the device is not listed as a basic configuration, it may be possible to click the Change Settings button to manually adjust the resource values. For example, to edit the Input/Output Range setting:

1. Click the Use Automatic Settings check box to clear it.
2. Click Change Setting.
3. Click the appropriate I/O range for the device.

Notes

•	If you click My Computer and then click Properties, you see a property sheet with a View Resources and a Reserve Resources tab. The Reserve Resources tab excludes a resource from use by Windows. The View Resources tab displays the resources that are allocated by Windows or inherited from a Plug and Play BIOS or PCI bus computer.
•	To disable a device in Device Manager, in Properties, on the General tab, clear to select the Disable in this hardware profile check box. Back to article 1
