USB help

[warren182]

My usb sockets seem to have stopped working. Charges my ipod, but doesn't come up as removable storage etc. Same with my digital camera, so it's not the ipod playing up. Guy that was using it at the time said some error shot up about usb exceeding voltage, any clues how to fix this??

Go in to control panel. System, hardware management.

Delete all the USB ports.

Reboot.

Windows should redetect them and you should be away.

Thanks, but still no luck!

Don't try to use too many USB ports at the same time, if they're powered from the PC they struggle.

If you have a seperate (powered) USB hub then it will be no problem.

only ever run one device at a time. Would of thought that if it was broken, then the ipod wouldn't charge, but it still does, it just doesn't come up as a removable drive>?
