This is why it's always pertinent to name the brand name and model in the first instance. Saves wasting people's time following false leads.
Yet you still have not.

If it's the Latitude D620, you need to turn on USB Emulation via the BIOS set-up beforehand.
But why should we need to guess?

Is there any reason why you are shouting?

This is what you wrote earlier;

So it morphed from a "dell" to a "sony".

I have to say that the impediment to sorting the problem out was you. Your postings quite confused and a total lack of detail.

After all, do you think anyone would know to which car you were referring if you told it were a Ford?

Next time, full details of the machines involved and you'll get accurate advice.
Save us from having to guess and you from going down to the pub too often.
