RE: USB ports stop working

My previous advice may be the answer. Do some more troubleshooting
and if no go, get a PCI USB card, if you have a slot for it. Onboard cards
go bad very easily.

I had a look in the case and there is no USB PCI card. The USB's seem to be
hard wired into the motherboard. Also I have managed to get the bluetooth
keyboard/mouse up and going again, but the other USB devices still dont work.

Looks like your USB PCI card has bit the dust. You can go to eBay and
get one for under $20. But, first open your PC case and check if your
current card has not shaken loose, is not properly inserted, or the
cables are not properly connected, etc.

I did as you suggested with no luck at all. Is there something else I can do
to fix it?

Today my printer stopped working and the message of "One of the USB devices
attached to theis computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognise
it" came up when I reinstalled the printer. I also notice that all my
devices connected via USB hava all stopped working (blue tooth
keyboard/mouse, external hard drive and external DVD burner). I have been
running these USB devices for about 12mths now with no problems and today it
all crashed. My operating system is Windows XP home. Anyone able to help me
please.
