Re: Can't access USB ports

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,

I don't know if there is, I don't (and won't) use anything from Symantec.
Their AV software is good, but the programs they distribute are also well
known for causing major system issues. I would contact their support for
further assistance.

Personally, I would use something else:
www.kaspersky.com
www.grisoft.com

Thanks Rick
10 out of 10. I have uninstalled and hey presto my USB access is
back.....now what? I don't want to live without virus protection. Is
there a setting I need to do when installing nortons?

Hi,

Wrong suspect. Uninstall Norton's, see if the ports are then
recognized.

I recently installed sp2 and changed my virus software to Nortons
2006.
One of these actions (I suspect the installation of sp2) has caused
my
computer to not recognise anything plugged into a USB port.

I have checked all of the drivers and they are fine. I also
uninstalled
all of the drivers and reinstalled them ? still no joy.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Arb
