You should always consider the simplest solution first - the items detailed in this checklist are easy to fix and yet can cause what appears to be a serious problem:

Make sure you turn on all peripheral devices before you turn on the computer - this includes your printer and any other external device you are using.

Before you attach an external device you should first turn the computer off, then when you turn the computer back on again it will recognize the new device.

Make sure all optional accessories are configured properly in the computer's setup program and that all required driver software has been loaded (please refer to the documentation included with the optional accessories for further information on its installation and configuration).
