seem to work properly.
The device is not properly
installed.
Remove and re-install the device.
See “Device Ports” on page 57.
The device may have been
installed while an application
was running, so the notebook is
not aware of its installation.
Close the application and restart your notebook.
You don’t have correct driver. See your software documentation and activate the correct driver.

to happen.
