When you plug in a USB derive, sometimes you may receive an error message that shows that the USB device you connected to this computer is malfunctioned. If your driver is not automatically enabled enable it by right-clicking the Enable device Once you are done, your USB will be recognized. I then removed the Firewire devices as well. Right-click the option you see first to disable device Once disabled restart your computer and conduct the same process as above. Thinking this should be easy to fix via the power of elimination, I removed the USB devices. 5 seconds later, the messages are back and this doesn't end. Within 1 or 2 seconds, the message disappears, as does the message in the action center.
