Hey all, I'd just like to say I appreciate any help in advance, as this problem is really bothering me.

Background info:

Windows XP SP3
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1GB DDR RAM
GeForce 6100
nForce 410

So I've had this computer for awhile, a little over a year. Sometimes my USB mouse would become unresponsive so I'd have to unplug it and replug it in, I thought nothing of it, it was an old mouse. So a few days ago this occurs, I unplug it and plug it back in and I get an 'Unknown USB Device' bubble. I restart and all is well, until I have to print a paper for my sister. I print and nothing comes out, I think its a printer problem until I plug in my camera and get a "Use USB 2.0 for faster speeds", which never came up before. I plug in my phone and I get "Samsung CDMA Technologies" with a yellow !, but no drivers, as there aren't any needed for the Samsung Rant, yet it still won't connect. I reformat after days of being a bit worried about it and the problem still exists after the reformat. I tried leaving it off and unplugged for a half hour and nothing works, even the clean format didn't help..

Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions.. I'm afraid that somethings failing.

Summary:
USB problems..
- Mouse being detected on and off
- Printer being detected as "Unknown Device" and not working even when drivers are installed.. according to the PC it doesn't even detect it as a printer because it asks me to install one when I press print.
- Reformat and problems still exist
- Camera now detected as a USB 1.1 device and not 2.0
- Cell phone saying drivers are needed when they infact aren't. (Yellow ! on device manager and not connecting when I press connect on the phone)

My USB mouse is the only device that works completely properly.
