Notification bubble reads 'USB device not recognized...'

Question

I have a Win7 64bit Dell laptop on a domain and the notify bubble 'USB device not recognized...' is aggravatingly annoyingly every second popping up. A friend had plugged in their usb phone but the issue starting a few days afterwards. The laptop is on a dock 90% of the time and I only have 2 monitors, a wired keyboard and a non receiver mouse plugged it. 1. Opening up device manager, the window jumps up and down. 2. When I can finally click on the root hub with the yellow exclamation to delete it, the issue will go away,...until a reboot. 3. chkdsk and scannow didn't resolve it either or turn up idea errors. 4. Turned off, unplugged, and removed the battery for a minute or two. put it back together and still no luck. I'm ready to drop kick this laptop!!!!! Please Help

Post the exact model computer. One thing to try is System Restore to go back to a restore point on the day before your friend plugged in a phone.

Windows General
