Re: running windows xp

is there any way to fix this? i went into bios and enabled everything. the
computer is not even registering that there is something in the usb port. i
know the camera i plug in is getting a signal because the lights flash. i
plugged it into my mom's computer and it showed up right away. any
suggestions?
the guys who fixed my computer installed regular xp on my box... there is
nothing plugged into the usb ports, they have their own ports... my computer
was built by an old friend. i go into the device manager, and nothing shows
up "universal serial bus controller" or anything like that. before they fixed
my computer, i was running windows xp pro, and tried reinstalling it, and
that's when i started having issues with my usb webcam, but i just thought
[webcam] was a piece of ***. then i suddenly had two windows xp pro's, as i
have 2 hard drives. i don't know how they fixed it, but i'm running windows
xp on my c: drive. i have a floppy drive, and a cd rw. also an e: drive for
storage.
i downloaded tweak ui, unhid some drives, and it still doesn't work...
