Technical Issues / USB Problems
July 23, 2006, 01:57:33 AM
Hi all.

I've had my Presario X1000 laptop for just over 2.5 years now, and surprisingly, it is still running. The problem is though, that I just formatted the hard drive yesterday (which I've done several times; a clean start is good sometimes) but now, for some reason the USB ports are not working. Whenever I try plugging a device in, it doesn't even recognize that a device has been plugged in. I've had a look at the device manager, and it says that the drivers are not installed for the USB controller. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's obviously quite a big problem, since I need to connect stuff like my mouse, or my portable music player and my cell phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
