| USB not recognizing devices except printer
I have a dell desktop running winXP home edition and I cant get the usb ports (all of them in the front of the computer) to recognize my camera pics via a usb adapter, or my ipod, etc..
I can attach usb devices but theres no "connectivity" so to speak/
The USB device indicates everything is ok thru task manager.
The ONLY device that works is a 3 in 1 printer thats hooked up to a USB port in the REAR of the machine.
Any ideas? |

Brighton, MA | Can you try hooking up the printer using the front USB connection, if it doesn't work with your printer then I'd say your front USB ports are broken, or maybe the USB cable to the front panel is loose. |

For me, I had a similar problem. It was not a hardware issue. See this:

I take it you have installed the drivers that came with the devices or are you relying on WinXP to supply the device drivers?
If Mele20's suggestion does not work I would reinstall the drivers that came on the supplied discs for the camera and iPod then after reboot attach the devices and WinXP should recognize them.
