Hey everybody, I'm trying to get my mom's laptop nice and cleaned up and running properly so she has a computer when she moves.
It's an older (roughly 2005) Compaq Presario V2000. I've got everything in pretty good shape except I can't figure out the USB problem. Anytime I plug in a USB device, it is getting power, but is non-responsive and the computer does not detect new hardware.
I have tried all the ports with several different devices, all to no avail. I think it may be driver related, but I'm really not sure. I know the ports worked when it was purchased and for at least one or two years longer. If no one has any ideas I'm planning on just reformatting it, but the disk is SP2 so I don't wanna deal with that...
Anyway, help is much appreciated. Here is the dxdiag:
Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600)
Phoenix NoteBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0
Intel Pentium 1.5 GHz
.5 Gig Ram
DX 9
Thanks
