The problem lies in Redmond, WA xD

Now seriously, select the drivers manually and select "PSP Type A". That should do. If you don't find'em, GIYF

Let me guess, you have an EEE PC or similar? That camera you're seeing is the camera built-in to your computer, not the PSP.

Yes, on eee pc maybe camera conflicted..... On AMD after i just removed Camera driver it shows only unknown device now. Like in the picture bellow. So i didin;t moved anythere from this dead zone.

Can be wrong out puts? Mixed in puts and outputs?

Where is diferent between USB 2.0 and 1.1 hardware of software?

Marach, I did read, but you'll also notice that I was correct in my guess...

Pihas, it sounds like your USB cable is just bad. If (for example) two pins are shorted together, plugging it in can cause your PC's USB hub to reset, causing other devices that use USB (like a built-in camera) to get re-detected, or mis-detected. If your PSP still works with the old cable but not the new one, it's definitely the cable that is at fault.

there's quite a lot of those USB cables that fault when you first purchase them..

I suggest taking it back.

For some odd reason, quality isn't a priority to the child-slaves being used in the third world country making the cables. Go figure...

Jimparis, you are right 2 and 4 pins on out put are shorted together.... In conclusion do not buy third part cables....
