usb device not recognized

[Guest]

My usb devices have worked just fine, but just recently they stopped. It was
about the same time i updated for windows. I have gone to the device
manager, and looked for any yellow or red in the list, and there was nothing.
when i plug in my mp3 player, it is still able to get charged, but i am not
able to access it on my computer to add or remove songs. Nothing else has
changed. I also tried to uninstall the xp update (1 of 8 updates) only, and
there was no change. There were other updates but none are directed to the
OS. I think the other are to office 2003.

Any help would be helpful.

Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC , highlight the USB Root Hub device(s),
Action menu, "Uninstall", then restart Windows, to find the device drivers
again automatically.

I tried that and it come up the same after the restart. Any other ideas?

Thanks

If you prefer the player to the update, use System Restore to go back to a
date before it quit working.

For some reason the earliest system restore was from may 9th at 2pm. The
problems started the night before. I don't know why there aren't any more
system restore points. I have had this computer for about a year.

thanks

I was starting to think about that but i was not sure if there was still
another option.

Thanks for the help.
