2.USB mouse stops responding after reboot on Toshiba laptop

I got an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4260 laptop (PII-450), with Win2K Pro,
and the Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse attached through the USB port, as
well as a Logitech Cordless iTouch Keyboard also going through the USB port.
The problem is with the Microsoft mouse rather than the Logitech keyboard.
The problem seems to happen about 80% of the time, and it doesn't occur
about 20% of the time -- so far I haven't been able find out why it's not
occurring all of the time. What happens is that after a reboot the mouse
stops responding. The workaround is to unplug the mouse and plug it back in
again, and then it works.

Now both cordless devices are currently attached to the single USB port on
the laptop through a 4-port USB hub. Thinking that maybe the hub had
something to do with it, I've tried attaching the mouse (and keyboard too,
BTW) directly to the laptop's USB port, bypassing the USB hub. Made no
difference. I've even tried plugging the mouse into the PS/2 port instead
(the mouse can work either as PS/2 or USB), and that was even worse, as I'd
have to re-detect the mouse drivers in that case.

Now as far as the Logitech keyboard goes, it's not finicky, it suffers no
problems, it works through the PS/2 port, it works through the USB port, and
it works through the USB hub as well. It's completely well behaved. Wish my
mouse were that good.

Ideas?

3.Toshiba laptop - how to upgrade to USB 2.0?

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite 1905-S301 with XP Pro installed. How do I
upgrade to USB 2.0? Is it a matter of just downloading a driver, or do I need
to buy a card? I tried downloading Win XP Service Pack 1a, which has a USB 2
driver, but for some reason it will never finish downloading. The download
screen shows "100% completed", but then it just hangs and does not write the
file to my HD. Any suggestions? Thanks.

4.Boot from USB for Toshiba Satellite A55

I bought a new HDD and the old one is still working with an OS (Win XP)
in it.  If I buy a USB adaptor and plug my old HDD (with XP in it) in
my laptop, and choose boot from USB, is it possible to boot it up and
use it this way?  If not, how can I boot from USB?  Does it require
some kind of special USB drive?  Thanks.

5.Problem with USB Soundblaster on Toshiba 2180CDT

I've got a laptop that's a few years old - a Toshiba Satellite 2180CDT, with
Windows XP.

I wanted to use it to pipe music files via wireless network to my stereo in the
living room, so I purchased a Creative SoundBlaster USB sound maker thingy (it's
basically an external SoundBlaster).

The laptop seems to have a powered USB 1.1 port, which is what the thing
requires.

I install the software and plug in the device. It is recognized as a "USB
composite device" and then reports that the installation of the device had a
problem.

I've tried:
- assigning the driver manually via Device Manager
- uninstalling and reinstalling the driver
- downloading an updated driver
- checking Toshiba and Microsoft for USB patches (none)
- a procedure on the Creative web site for when the USB SoundBlaster isn't
recognized (didn't help)
- removing the "USB composite device" entries from usb.inf and the registry so
it shows up as an unknown device and assigning the driver then (no luck)

I have not yet tried setting the thing up on my desktop system, as I wasn't
completely sure that the Creative software and drivers would cleanly uninstall
themselves so I could use my existing sound card properly.

Here's what happens in detail:

When I install the drivers from the SoundBlaster CD, it says that the device
isn't plugged in so it won't install the drivers. I thought you always had to
install the USB drivers first and then plug in the USB device.

When I plug it in first, let Windows detect it and report a problem, then
install the drivers, it gets to the end of the installation fine, and I reboot,
but the device doesn't work and still has a "?" in the device manager.

So, I go to it, choose to update driver, and point it to the fresh Creative
driver I've just downloaded. I point it at the win2k\sbusb.inf file, and it
tells me "The specified location does not contain information about your
hardware", when it clearly does.

So, I choose to have it proceed with the already-installed Creative SoundBlaster
USB Audio driver, and it just says, "There was a problem installing this
hardware... INF file may be for Windows 95 or later." Duh, it's XP, shouldn't it
be for Windows 95 or later?

I can't find any updates from Toshiba, Creative, or Microsoft for any issue
remotely like this.
