Problem with USB ports

[tinman]

I am running WinXP Home and something seems to have happened to my USB
ports. This happened before I updated to SP2 - so can't lay the blame there
<g>

Some things work and others don't. My USB flash drive does not work. It
won't recognise my Sony PDA but it will recognise my Canon scanner.

The device manager does not report a problem.

So I am stuck I don't know where to go from here.

Anyone got a suggestion?

Thanks
