I'm not entirely sure TT, but aren't ports controlled by drivers? to tell them what to do?
Have you checked the User control panel and the actual ports.
Go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > USB Controllers
right click and go to properties, there should be a box to see if they are configured or if there is a conflict with any of them.
I'm not entirely sure what cpu you have or if at all this will help, i'm just shooting in the dark to see if it could help point the way..
Anyone else got any advice?
