my camera is powered by batteries?
and my mp3 player uses a thing i dont know how to explain it theres a usb piece that plugs into a square plug with 2 lights on it and i just plug it in the wall and it charges it

Let me see who else I can find that may have other ideas. I'm fresh out.

I reviewed the thread, but I think you've anything I can think of. I suspect you have something corrupted in the registry, but I can't imagine what it is.

Have you tried running MSCONFIG and disabling all the stuff that is being run at startup?

How about booting in Safe Mode to see if new USB devices work that way?

Something else that comes to mind is perhaps a repair of the Windows installation if you have Vista disks, I'm assuming this is Vista from the screen shots.

Thanks John

[JohnWill]

Well, you can thank me when it works.

I'm thinking a reinstall may be the only "sure" way to fix it....

Unless it happens to be some oddball hardware issue.

[Mr Stinson]

how do i reinstall?

[AcaCandy]

With your operating system cd or dvd. You'll need to make sure you have anything important saved elsewhere, dvds, cds, external drives, whatever you have.

[Mr Stinson]

i dont have one of those

[AcaCandy]

What do you have? A system restore disk?

[Mr Stinson]

my sister says she doesnt have any of the original disks for the computer

[AcaCandy]

Well, that's not good for many reasons..............
