I have tried to install the SP1 express listed on the windows update page
twice now. Each time I do the USB ports no longer work after I reboot the
computer. I have to uninstall it in order to get the USB ports working
again.
It's a new computer that came with XP Home that I upgraded to XP Pro.
Any ideas as to what is happening?

Chris;
Go to the Device Manager:
Right click My Computer
Click Properties
Click Hardware tab
Click Device Manager button
Click + by Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Right click each item, click uninstall
Next item...
Reboot the computer.
The USB devices should be OK after a reboot.
 
Thx Jupiter!
That did the trick. Had to find my serial mouse to make things easier to
uninstall and navigate.
