Hi Julie,
Just follow the steps below & try your USB ports again. If they don't
work
after doing the steps, your computer has more serious problems.
1. Go to system properties. Here are 2 ways to open System Properties.
A.
Press the Windows Key + Pause Key. B. Open the control panel, press the
letter
S, until you land on System Properties, & press enter.
2. Control + Tab, 2 times to the Hardware Tab.
3. Tab 1 time to Device Manager / Device Manager button, press the
spacebar, & tab 1 time to your computer Tree View.
4. Arrow down this list to, Universal Serial Bus controllers, & press
right
arrow to open.
5. You need to uninstall every item in this list, reboot the computer, &
Windows will reinstall everything that you have uninstalled.
A. Arrow down the list to highlight 1 item at a time. With each item
highlighted, press your applications / context menu key.
B. Arrow down the list that opens & press enter on the Uninstall option.
Do
this on each item in the Universal Serial Bus controllers folder list.
C. After you have uninstalled all the items, Press Alt + F4 to close
everything, & reboot the computer.
When you reboot the computer Windows will reinstall all the drivers that
you
uninstalled earlier. Doing this got the USB Ports working again in this
particular
instance. If your USB ports don't work after following the steps above,
you
have more serious issues.
Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike
