| 289899 | 2004-11-10 01:04:00 | I have WinXP with Serv Pack2 on it, my USB ports are not working, when I try and go into device manager nothing is displayed. The machine is not frozen as I can do other things it just that device manager will not display any hardware. Does anyone have any ideas? Cheers |

| 289907 | 2004-11-10 05:34:00 | In device manager have you got an icon representing your pc and has this icon got a + to the left of it, if yes click on the + and it will expand the devices tree. | beama (111) | ||
| 289908 | 2004-11-13 01:45:00 | Cheers for your help but I found out what was wrong, someone had disabled the Plug n Play settings in Admin tools. Changed it to Auto then rebooted and everything came back. Thanks for the input |
