USB port won't recognize any new devices?

Question

my USB port will only recognize my printer and my old mp3 usb. it won't recognize any new devices i plug in. i don't think it's a driver problem since the balloon doesn't even pop up indicating that the computer senses a device. so i figured that i must have pressed some thing to turn all of my ports off or something. does anyone have the same problem?!

Answer 1

Your problem may be that it is only a usb 1.0 and you are trying to use usb 2.0 devices.

Answer 2

Well, it's hokey to do so but you might consider disconnecting the printer cable and plugging in the USB device that you want the computer to recognize.

Answer 3

It could just be that the port has gone out of order.

Answer 4

did u enable ure usb port?or is it disabled?
