...other thoughts...you have got your USB ports switched on in bios, and
present in Device manager ?
Info:-
>From http://www.talkroot.com/archive/topic/23853-1.html
"USB devices are supposed to draw between 50 and 500 milliamps. If your
camera is drawing more than 500 milliamps, the
port can't provide it. And along the same lines, if the camera draws less
than 50 milliamps, the port will not recognize it.
Commonly, you can spot this problem if a peripheral works on a powered hub,
but not with a port. It will also show up if other peripherals are working,
but then quit when the device with a problem is hooked up."
