Ohkay guys,
My Atom Exec which i purchased a few days back started showing this wierd message with my PC which runs Windows XP(Its an Athlon D/c with usual stuff).It was running mighty fine in the initial days.I have a USB mouse and USB TV tuner card plugged on to my pc.
After breaking my head with usual stuff like trying different ports,i decided to search the web with this problem "USB device not recognized",i was surprised to find many people suffering this same problem with their devices which varied from pen drives to scanners and what have you.
The solutions also varied,none of which worked consistently.They varied from running registry hacks to,powering down pc,formatting windows etc.
After spending a few days in agony and a few more trial and errors,I could figure out that the problem was related to power supplied through the usb root hub.Thats right,its related to your PC/Laptop bios,it has nothing to do with Windows or anything else.Your bios after a few days of use with usb devices cant drive enough power through the wires.So you have to directly connect the device.
Here comes the solution
do not use the mini usb/usb connector wire supplied with your device(any device) if you face this problem,instead get something like this http://www.mp4project.com/images/Connector__USB_A_M_Mini_5P_.jpg
It will work like a charm.
Hope this helps a lot of battered souls out there.
