I have tried all of that and nothing seems to work.

Have a look in
Control Panel>system>hardware>device manager and check the USB items specified, yu can click on the Driver details and this should show if theres any problem with drivers etc. maybe theyve become corrupt ?? depending on when this started happening, have you tried a "system restore" to a point prior to the problem - if t his doesnt solve it you can always cancel the restore and bring it back up to date.
