USB Problem o/s 98se

G'day
Hope someone with more smarts than me can suggest a solution for a real annoying problem
yesterday all was fine, today after start up the usb printer & usb digital camera connect wont work. Power going thru but no data from either of the 2 usb slots.
went to settings> control panel>scanners & camera> properties showed printer 'unavailable' and no port indicated.

Any help would be most appreciated
Thank You
Rob

Re: USB Problem o/s 98se

control panel, system, hardware tab, device mgr - is there any yellow or red marks there

have you tried to remove devices from pc and shut down, then restart and when back in windows attatch your devices 1 at a time, if 1st device works, then move to adding 2nd

Hi,

Seahawk is right. Remove the USBs from System Manager. WIndows has the drivers stashed away on the Hard Drive and will almost always reinstall them on the next reboot.

Good Luck, Jim
