8890 usb problem

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
All of a sudden i can't mount any removable storage device thru usb. I had my zip hooked up and after switching disks it stopped mounting, the mp3 player also stopped mounting in its slot or plugged into the usb in the back.
I uninstalled and reinstalled all usb drivers, i tried a system restore twice to points awhile ago when everything worked...everything was working earler today... usb mouse and keyboard work fine, but when i plug in zip or mp3 player i get the "found new hardware -usb mass storage device" message, and then a message saying "found new hardware- there was a problem installing new hardware device may not work properly"
I'm at a loss here, i don't want to do a complete system reinstall anyone have any ideas or have dealt with this?

8890 3.2, 1gig ram, xppro sp1, 6 weeks old...very happy except for this

are you on ac power?
Windows has an option to shut down USB ports to conserve battery life.
If you go into the device manager -> usb roots (I think) and uncheck the power down option might help.
