compact flash drive

I have a compact flash drive and card from which I load digital pics. It (XP
Pro sp2) used to read the card just fine. But over the last couple of days I
worked with XP tech support to uninstall and reinstall sp2 ... long story.
Now none of the 3 USB ports on my machine will read this. This is what
occurs when I plug in the reader:

1. Shows the "found new hardware" and prompts to install software for the
USB mass storage device.

2. I click to install automatically (first couple of times without OS disc,
second couple of times with it).

3. It searches, and each time an installation window appears stating that
the software has not passed the Windows logo testing to verify its
compatibility and offers two buttons: "continue anyway" or "stop
installation."

4. Stop installation is obvious. Continue anyway, searches, attempts to
install, then produces another window stating that it cannot install this
hardware.

5. I've tried going into device manager and updating drives and reinstalling
the driver, all with the same outcome.

What gives? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Dean
