USB's

BigMitch94 · 04-08-2009, 08:54 AM

This isn't that much related to drivers but it the closest thing i could find connected to my problem.
All of a sudden my USB ports have stopped working and they wont detect any of my devices i cant download any drivers etc because my internet is wireless so i have a USB adapter (im on my sisters laptop) please help i really need my USB's fixed, Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

they will be installed on the second reboot and when you plug in the plugs windows should recognise them
