Hey guys for some reason after I repaired windows xp my USB ports dont work, When I plug the device in it makes the chime sound but when I go to My Computer the device drive isnt there, Ive tried everything I can think of, Device Manager seems fine, Drivers seem fine, everything seem OK to me. Please Help Me!!! Ill rep the person with the answer, thank you and good night
is this onboard/front pannel, or a pci card? windows may have some generic drivers for that, but it may not always be the correct drivers. if a cd came with your computer, and has USB drivers, run that segment of it. If not, go to your motherboard/computer's(if premade) website, and download the latest USB drivers, and/or chipset drivers.
hm ... to check drivers are installed ... go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > And if you got like a Yellow ! mark next to USB then Right Click > Update drivers ... Search the system - Thats installing generic drivers from WinXP system folder - If it has any that is in order to make it work IF not , then just follow what master said - DarkStar
Yea fairly simple, your computer isn't recognising the drive, for a number of reasons already stated above. try them methods if it dosn't work i suggest trying a different usb device it could be that. gl.
edit also if ur plugging in a ipod, to a PC they are usualy as usless as a paraplegics legs, often they dont connect for some reason, mostly coz its a music device not a information device as often used. try it in a lap top if thats the case, they work fine.
O another thing - if you been bashing your comp The USB wire inside the case might have dislodged so check that - DarkStar
