Symptoms
Assume that you have a Windows 7-based computer that is running on an Intel Atom Z670 processor and on an Intel SM35 Express chipset. In this situation, you may experience functionality issues on full-speed and low-speed USB devices. For example, you may experience the following issues:
-
The response time from a USB touchscreen device or mouse is slower than expected.
-
Bluetooth devices stop responding.
Note To recover from this issue, the Bluetooth device or the computer must be restarted. If the Bluetooth device is an internal device, you must power-cycle the computer.
Cause
This issue occurs because the USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) host controller in Windows 7 resets the USB device when the USB EHCI host controller reports missed micro-frame errors.
Note For more information about this issue, see the Intel SM35 Express chipset specification update.Resolution
This hotfix enables a mechanism to retry missed micro-frame errors by using the Soft-Retry functionality. For more information about the Soft-Retry functionality, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
908673 Problems may occur when you try to transfer files to or from a device that is connected to a USB 2.0 hub Note The hotfix that is introduced in this KB article is updated to a new version. This new version of the hotfix resolves an issue in which a "Device driver software was not successfully installed" balloon is displayed when you install a new USB device. This issue occurs if you install the earlier version of the hotfix. You must reinstall the hotfix if the file versions of the USB drivers are older than the file versions that are listed in this KB article. To check the file versions of the USB drivers that are installed on your computer, follow these steps:
-
Locate the %WINDIR%\System32\Drivers folder by using Windows Explorer.
-
Right-click Usbehci.sys, and then click Properties.
-
Select the Details tab, and then check the value of the File version property.
-
You can determine whether you have the earlier version of the hotfix installed if the value matches one of the following values:
-
6.1.7600.16791
-
6.1.7600.20940
-
6.1.7601.17591
-
6.1.7601.21700
-
-
Repeat step 1 to step 4 for Usbhub.sys and for Usbport.sys.
