usb disabled?

[WhiteBears]

Hello

I think all my usb connection on my PC has stopped working. i use a usb mouse, i tried alll the usb's and non of them works, i also used a different mouse and still the same. i cant log into the net either because i use a usb internet broadband :(

I'm using my laptop atm connected to the internet... any advice? is it something to do with usb updater?

i tried to use the 'update driver' via device manager but it says:
a driver (service) for this device has been disabled. an alternate driver maybe providing this functionality (code 32)

same message for all the usb ports! help!

I presume you are using XP?
Are you plugging into the main USB connections on motherboard near mouse port?
Disconnect ALL USB devices. Go into Device Manager, select "show hidden devices" on View tab. ..
Expand tree and under USB Controllers, uninstall ALL entries there .. also uninstall entries under HumanID devices, and any USB entries under Mouse and Keyboard.
Shutdown PC and reboot. Windows should reinstall all device drivers for the USB entries.
If it does not .. you should look at the properties of the entries with any Q mark in yellow or suspect a hardware failure of some kind.
This could be onboard USB board or sockets on a plugged in USB card.

* Uninstall items in Device Mgr .. Select entry .. R-Click .. Uninstall
