Default One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned

WTH?!?!?! A few days ago I had a problem with AS 4.5, which I managed to solve, and now this??? Why does bad stuff happen to me anyway?

I don't know the cause of this problem. When I plugged my XDA II this message pops up. =(

I tried Hard Resetting and Reinstalling AS 4.5 but it didn't work (GRRRR)

I'm guessing a driver error/corruption within my PC. Any suggestions??

(I haven't tried connecting my PPC with another PC, YET)

Thumbs up had same prob

just copy the serialusbfn.dll into your windows dir on ppc and all is sorted
If the above post contains spelling mistakes / grammatical errors / poor use of the quote function / a very weak retort, or is generally shyte; it's because I'm feked on a cocktail of drugs,homebrew and carb cleaner.sorry

i did that many times and still it fails to work.. I reset both my PPC and my PC.. =(

and by directly, do u mean directly as in without a cradle? or directly without using USB splitters, extension, etc...

if the latter, I don't have USB extension cords etc...
if the former, I connect it via a cradle.

Maybe your pocket pc 's bottom connector is broken. Have you tried using "WM5Storage" and putting your XDA II on its craddle to see if it gets connected as a usb mass storage device ? If it doesn't, you should maybe look if the connector is still soldered to the main board. Mine isn't anymore, and my XDA II can only charge.

I'm also thinking of the possibility that either the bottom connector or the cradle is broken, but I really can't conclude yet until I try connecting this thing to another PC and see if it works.

May I ask what is that WM5Storage?

THANK YOU!

Wm5torage is a software which makes ur ppc a card reader and when u insert a card in the device..it gets detected in ur Computer.....its just like Softkick II or sum thing like that.....search around the forum for it
