What do I do if USB ports don't recognize devices?

My USb ports will not recognize my devices. How can I fix this?

  • When I hook up my digital camera or my kids MP3 players, it tells me the computer does not recognize. It's driving me nuts.

  • Answer:

    Click START>RUN, type 'Device Manager' (without the quotes) [or if you're on Vista, just type it in the box when you click START] Click the + next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Do you have several things listed as USB Root Hub? Remove them. Reboot your PC. Now plug in your mp3 player and this should trigger the Hardware Wizard
