Computer doesnt install software drivers

helenbaybee · 06-18-2008, 10:36 AM

I am running Windows XP
When I add devices such as memory sticks and printers through a usb port it does not recognise them.
I have had this laptop since christmas and I havent really noticed if this has been a problem for long.
Could i be operating something that has caused this problem? I have no known viruses or malware on my system according to the software i have.

Any help would be great, I can still use my laptop but not with any aditional appliances along with it.
