    More information required. What operating system do you have on your PC?

    SP2?

    Anything installed of late?

    By the Title, what did you think you did?
  • Id be thinking about reinstalling drivers. If the devices are driverless then maybe the mainboard's USB port drivers need reinstalling.

    Have devices ever worked on this machine? Have other USB devices ever worked? Do you find things work in one port but not another? Are the ports part of the mainboard or a seperate card?

    No idea, but I always get the blame!!!
    Bluetooth works ok, and they have both worked in the past. So how do I go about reinstalling drives?

    Can't think of anything, I'VE done, but as I said, I always get the blame, and no one else is admitting to anything. Sorry if I'm not being much help.
