win xp dell dimension 2400
I am not able to get use from USB ports. They only recognize very few things- not my camera but a cheap craig mp3 player, not camera mate but an old Zios card reader, .
I do not have system restore now- error says restart then try again,, Tried reinstall xp disks that came with but does not allow. I would like to buy external HD and transfer all files then reformat but afraid it will not recognize that external HD is attached thru USB. I am at a loss I know I am a dummy when it comes to this but I am (at least) more computer literate than husband,,,, any suggestions? Thanks so much |

Do you have SP3 installed? Are there any yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?

yes, sp3 installed. Yes there can be an error message to a usb device I have connected and I run the driver search which says cannot find driver or when I click on the device message says no driver needed for device. I have also changed drive letter for usb device.
I cannot move data to external HD so I can reformat HD for clean reinstall winxp. Computer used to recognize and install . System restore is gone too I guess. |

Put the Dell Resource CD in, and reinstall the Intel chipset utility.
