I have a new computer (new to me anyhow...my brother upgraded and gave it to me) and as I was transferring software (via a thumbnail drive) from another of my computers and installing the softwear...all was going well and I was 80% done transfering...when all four of my USB ports quit working. Though I was irritated by this event...I thought to myself...no problem I will just finish transferring via CD's...only to discover that the CD/DVD rom drive on the new computer would no longer read or write. It was reading and writing as I had already tested it...so I assume it went down when the USB ports went down.
All of the drivers read as being operational...none the less I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers...still did not work. I searched for new drivers...none were found. I downloaded all of the drivers from the company (it is a shuttle computer) and installed them...still did not work. I have tried all of the microsoft solutions I could find (I am running XP Pro SP3)...including editing the registry...still did not work. I have run several different spyware/trojan/rootkit...programs and though some things were found and quarantined...still did not work.
I had installed some of the software but then decided that I did not need some of it anylonger and uninstalled some of it. I suspect this is what created the problem. I did a system restore when I discovered the problem but this did not correct the problem.
So I have a CD/DVD rom drive that does not read or write and four USB ports that are not working...and yet device manager says all is well...any suggestions will be appreciated.
