Big Problem - cant access usb disks

[james.tom.w]

OK my computer is fine and it is virus free (checked and deleted
viruses using AVG and spybot - search and destroy). However whenever I
insert any kind of USB memory (1gb usb flash disk, 256mb usb flash disc
and 30gb ipod video) drive it stops and freezes leaving the user unable
to move the mouse or it crashes the pc completly. So I can't get any of
my work off my usb drives or update my ipod. This is particually bad as
a lot of my GCSE graphics coursework is on my 1gb usb drive. Please
please help, thanks - tom

have you opened the device manager and checked for conflicts?

if there isn't any, I had once fixed a similar problem by unilstalling
my usb controllers in device manager then rebooting and letting it
reinstall them. (that also fixed a hardware inturrupt problem days
ago).

- this is all considering that the viruses (as it sounded like you did
have some) didn't damage any of the driver files etc.
