Resolved XP Computer USB problems

hey there, I have a windows xp been having some issue with connecting with usb devices. I was wondering if you guys could help out. Broni in the malware dept. told me this is the place to start.

Thanks

 

Please give details of the USB devices you are having problems with and what the problems are.
Can you test the suspect devices on another PC.

I had a similar problem. The USB port my printer was connected to contiued to work, but none of the others could recognize a USB device when it was plugged in.

Does "Device Manager" come up blank? Mine did, and it wasn't until I got that working again that all the USB outlets came back. I found an old post with a registry edit that got it back.

 

ok wow, i haven't used xp in so long. i have forgotten how to get to the device manager. I have used multiple usb devices, and lately the one that i wish to use on this computer doesn't work. It is a Roxio capture card.

So, if you please, could you tell me how to get to the device manager.

 

ok, nevermind guys. I started to work with it and now its actually working. I guess it one of those things that never seem to happen when you ask for help. I do appreciate all the help though.
