USB ports not working...

[kayaboy]

Here's what happened:
Installed Spanish printer drivers by mistake, could not remove these drivers (tried deleting, re-installing drivers correctly--but it still reverts to Spanish!), so my "buddy" from work gives me this "printer driver removal tool"--and it proceeds to mess up my USB ports!!(?)
Now, the cpu will not recognize ANYTHING that's connected via USB!!!
WHat happened? What do I do?
THanks!!!

Remove the USB hubs and USB controllers from Device Manager, restart, and let Windows recognize them and reload their drivers.

Depending on what os you are using and how long ago this was, you may try using system restore, or goback but only if you have it installed. Goback wont work "after the fact".



Good advice + great people = tek-tips
