HEY GUYS,
I got a stumper for you.  All 3 of my USB ports are dead and I can not get ANYTHING to recognize in any of them.  (see signature for computer specs)

the last few things that I have installed are as follows:
  • Saitek X52
  • Saitek SST Programming Software  --- now uninstalled
  • Realtek Audio Drivers

I have made no other software /hardware changes.


In the device manager, it shows ...

-- Universal Serial Bus Controllers
|-- :exclamation Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
|-- :exclamation Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
|-- Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
|-- Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
|-- USB Root Hub
|-- USB Root Hub


Could someone please help shed some light as to what exactly is going on, and how the #ELL I can fix it!

Mouse does not work, External HDD with pictures/Flight sim/extra software does not work, Joystick does not work... nothing works.  -- I have tested EACH on my wifes IDENTICAL computer, and they work on hers, just not on mine. So i know there is a problem with the USB PORTS.

If you know your computer to have USB boot capacity, try first to boot something (linux distro for example) from a USB key.

This might help telling you if it's a hardware failure or a windows drivers failure...
