Hello,
Whenever I plug in my MP3 player or my two flash drives, they are reconized by Windows and show up in safely remove hardware with no problems at all. However, when I go into My Computer they do not show up. It will not even show up in any of my programs (they all want drive letters as well).

It has never done this in Windows XP Home (SP2), it just started recently doing this with Windows XP Professional (SP2).

I have reinstalled my drivers quite a few times, and my dad has told me it's most likely not a driver problem, after all my network card works with no problem at all. After he tried repairing the XP Pro installation with no luck I went into disk management and it (the USB device) showed up there, without a disk letter assigned. Well I assigned it a letter, and I could browse it in Windows Explorer and I could see all my files.

It still would not show up in My Computer. I tried refreshing it and reopening it, but no luck there. When I restarted my computer to see if that would work, it went back to having no driver letter assigned.

Please help and thanks in advance!
