Hi - My system is Xp Prfessional - I RECENTLY have developed a problem with my USB; slots not being recognised ie; the items such as my webcam and other USB; items, I'm not being able to use them. I scanned my computer and no virus's where found. Prior to this problem I dowloaded,'driverrobot_setup.exe' ran the program and then it would appear that this caused the problem, or it mabe just a coincidence. Any way the problem is that I cannot in 'Control Panel' open 'System' or 'Device Manager' yet Add/Remove I can use? WHY? please help. I have removed the program 'Driverrobot' I have been TRYING to stop programs running at 'Start Up and somewhere along the line this problem developed. Please can you advise me how to repair this problem using easy step by step procedures.

Many thanks1) NEVER use a third party utility to update drivers.
2) Update drivers ONLY when there is a specific reason to do so


Your choices right now are to boot to safe mode and TRY a system restore to a time prior to the problem, or if that doesn't work do a repair install of XP.Hi - Thank you kindly for your reply. I do not have this computers Xp installation disk as I PURCHASED the computer from a friend and they had lost the Xp disk, I do have an ORIGINAL Xp home disk from my last computer that was naf; I do have the disk information ie; license key that is stuck to the body work of the computer. I tied placing an old 120 GB Hardive into my desktop and formated the drive and reloaded Windows - Unfortunately it would not recognise the Ethenet so I could not get onto the internet. I would be greatful for any help as I am house bound slightly and my computeris my life line. I can get out occassionaly so help would be most welcome thank you
