Without more details (aka motherboard make and model), we can not guide you to
a more complete solution. The only suggestion is to "clear" out all the
devices under USB in Device Manager and shutdowm Windows. Boot the PC back up
and access the BIOS. Check to see if your motherboard may have a setting to
tell which level of USB the ports are to use (should be BOTH.) Reboot and let
XP redetect all USB ports. cards and hubs.
