I have been trying all sorts now...I have had a traumatic experience
having uninstalled
all my USB device controllers in device manager, they were 8 objects: 4
USB host
controllers and 4 USB root hubs. After rebooting I had to manually
reinstall the
drivers for the first 4 devices searching in the Dell drivers folder
which worked.
I then had the problem that the 4 root hubs failed to install and
showed as unknown
devices with problems. I was unable to find drivers anywhere icluding
on a Dell restore
CD saying it had drivers on it. I was left with no mouse or modem or
printer(all
USB). My old keyboard and short cut skills returned. After saying some
prayers I
managed to get them back after restoring my system to a previous
restore point(thank
god for restore!) I was starting to get suicidal. When I checked on the
drivers for
the 4 USB root hubs it showed they were basic Windows system drivers.
Why the h*ll
didn't they install before then? I had searched for drivers in WIndows
system 32
files where they are before the restore. Now I am really confused....
