I'm having USB troubles too -- Kelly's Korner had a script to tell whether
USB 2 is enabled. Mine is. I looked at the Regfix but don't understand it.
What will it do? (I'm hesitant to run RegFixes unless I know what they
mean.

=====================================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\usb]
"USBBIOSx"=dword:00000000

If you use a search engine, you can find references to the word "USBBIOSx".
Such a word looks unique enough, to focus on your problem.

I sure wish USB has diagnostics built in...
