    I have 4 usb ports and none of them work, however my external hard disc when connected does work, although this is just plug and play..no software.

    Does your external hard drive not have have it's own power supply? The other devices presumably get their power from the USB ports. Did you check the Power/Power Management in Hardware Device Manager? Have you tried just one device connected to a USB port or possibly a powered hub?
