SYMPTOMS
If you disconnect a Universal Serial Bus (USB) camera from your computer after you suspend and then resume the computer, the camera may remain in Device Manager. If Device Manager is running when you remove the camera, Device Manager may stop responding (hang) if you try to scan for new hardware. If Device Manager is not running when you remove the camera, Microsoft Management Console (MMC) may hang when you try to start Device Manager.

This problem may occur under the following conditions:
 * Your computer is compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification.
 * Your computer supports USB.
 * You connect a USB camera before you suspend the computer. This problem may occur if you connect the USB camera to a USB port on either a port replicator or a docking station.
