Why have my USB ports stopped working?

They worked last week!

I've not been able to synch my Palm up since the 6th but wasn't too worried about it. But now I checked everything and it's all connected where it ought to be, and I even switched devices around from one port to the other (I have two). Still nuthin. I can't add stuffs to my MP3 player and I can't synch my Palm.

Help Mee!!!

OK - have Windows XP. My Palm (in one port) a 4part hub with MP3 player, printer, external CD burner and scanner in the other. The external CD burner is powering fine off USB power, and the MP3 player shows its usual "I'm connected" screen, but the computer doesn't agree with it.

My keyboard and mouse are NOT usb, so your uninstall and reinstall option is possible - if I can't come up with anotehr idea I'll try it on Saturday.

Thankls again for the help - I'm a pretty good end-user, and can often get myself re-oriented with a poke in the right direction.

Had this happen to me not long ago. I fiddled around in systems manager and managed to get my also windows xp machine to re-identify the usb ports and reload the configs...if you haven't gotten headway by Saturday I'll try and recreate my steps.

I had re-installed windows some months ago and lost usb ports. Then I had acquired svl devices like the camera and needed to figure it out. I did. I'll try to write it out for you.
