Solve : Ports not working?

Answer»

My USB ports and the serial ports have stopped working all of a sudden. My printer won't work and putting in a picture card from my camera or even plugging the camera in won't work. Could anyone give me any ideas on what the problem could be. Thanks!How many "serial ports" do you have? What serial port devices do you use? Does your printer CONNECT to a USB port?

You have a card reader installed in your computer, right? So, you can insert your camera card into the card reader or you can connect your camera via USB cable, right?

Have you restarted your computer since this problem started?

I have one serial port. In that, I am trying to plug in a 9-pin serial cord that connects to my satellite BOX. My printer does connect to a USB port. I have a card reader installed in my computer. However, it is no longer reading my memory card. Nothing comes up when I insert it, or when I plug in any USB device. I have restarted my computer multiple times. I have updated all drivers (even the motherboard files). Any suggestions?If you open Device Manager, does it show any yellow triangles with exclamation marks? Does it show "Universal serial bus CONTROLLERS"? How many items does it show under "Universal serial bus controllers"? Does it indicate they are all working properly?No yellow triangles with exclamation marks. Yes it shows Universal Serial Bus Controllers. It shows 4 which are: Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller, Standard Open HCD USB Host Controller, USB Root Hub, and another USB Root Hub, and it shows they are all working properly. Here's a procedure that sometimes resolves problems with USB ports not being recognized. Open Device Manager and EXPAND the section for Universal serial bus controllers. Right click on each item there and select UNINSTALL to uninstall it. Close Device Manager and restart your computer. Windows should give you a message indicating it found new hardware. Let Windows proceed to install the new hardware, i.e. the USB drivers.

Now, try using a USB device. Does it work?
