Inspiron 6000 USB Ports
Having trouble getting my 6000 to recognize new hardware when I plug into USB ports. Have tried both printer and digital camera. Both worked fine with my old computer on Windows ME, neither have worked on Windows XP.
When I plug into the USB port, I hear some beeps but don't get the add new hardware pop-up. When I try to add new hardware manually it tells me that it doesn't detect anything.
I'm at a loss. HELP. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for using Dell's Community Forum.
Could it be that both of the devices you’ve tried to connect need new Win XP drivers? Make sure the devices are compatible with WinXP.

Yes, I'm sure they need new XP drivers, but I thought XP would recognize that and the add hardware wizard would ask for them.
Should I install the new drivers before I try to install the printer and camera?
Thanks again.

No, I have not reinstalled my operating system.
I have checked device manager and it says that all USB ports are operating normally.
Thanks.
