This message is displayed when a device draws more than the available power from an USB port. The correct fix it to power the device with its own power source, then reset the port. If that’s not an option you can disable the message as follows:

1) Go to the Device Manager
2) Locate “Universal Serial Bus controllers” in the list and expand.
3) Select the first USB Universal Host Controller.
4) Right click and select “Properties”
5) Go to the “Advanced” tab
6) Check “Don’t tell me about USB errors”
7) Click “OK”
Note. If you have multiple host controllers then they should all be affected by the above action.
Close Device Manager

Microsoft has finally rolled out Windows Vista. What was announced as a revolutionary new way of computing has turned out to be an incremental upgrade from XP built on the Windows Server 2003 stack. The main selling point seems to be security, however, it is how Microsoft defines it and what other’s call nannying and mistrusting the user: Persistent nag screens brought to by User Account Control and a lockdown of many system resources, which will give system admins nightmares and hamper enterprise adoption. Besides that, Microsoft has “improved” piracy controls to a point where it keeps continously annoying users and even locks down the entire system save for the browser in certain situations. This O/S together with Office 2007 might be the last major upgrade incentive from Microsoft, and if it keeps annoying users with bloated resource hogs it might not even be that.
