I haven't upgraded or changed anything, I just decided it was time for a reformat.

I just got all my old files and programs setup again and came across an issue with my computer not recognized my mice. I'm currently using an older USB Logitech mouse but I continue to get the USB Device not recognized error with my Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0, even when installing my mouse drivers from CD it isn't recognized. Shows up as Unknown Device in Device Manager under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. So I went out and purchased a new mouse the Razer Taipan, and I am getting the same errors as with my Intellimouse.

So after doing a fair bit of research this past week, I am left frustrated and defeated. So far my troubleshooting has entailed of:

- Uninstalling all USB Host Controllers and Root Hubs, shutting off computer and unplugging.
- Testing every USB (& 3.0) port on my computer with all 3 mice, only Logitech recognized, my other USB Devices are recognized no problem (Gigabyte keyboard, Logitech Webcam)
- I have tried the Intellimouse/Razer devices on my laptops and both are recognized and installed without problem.
- I have downloaded all updates from Windows Update, downloaded all updates from the Asus support website, and the Intel chipset utilities, and all my devices in DevMgr are showing 'Best driver already installed'
- The Unknown Device Identifier and it still shows Unknown Device with no additional info (PID/VID) for drivers.
- Microsoft Fix-It! For Hardware/Devices/Drivers haven't helped.
- I've updated my BIOS to the most recent version, I also disabled my USB/USB 3.0 Legacy info and my error went from Unknown Device to Unknown USB Device (sadly my only progress)

Before my format my Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 had no problems whatsoever working and installing so I know it's compatible with my computer.

At this point I'm almost ready to have it sent back, as I cannot figure out for the life of me what the problem is.

Any advice or additional info is greatly appreciated! I am more than willing to provide any additional information required for troubleshooting.

Contact our support team on Monday. They could ask the guys that to OS integration on what it could be. Sending screenshots of device manager and the device ID on the unknown devices will help.
