USB just stopped working...
I have disabled and re-enabled both the host controller and the usb hub. I have made sure that it is not the device (I was trying to install a Palm keyboard) by trying it in the USB port in my desktop computer. I was trying to install from my Inspiron, because that is what I use to update my Palm Tungsten E.
Please help; I also use the USB port for a remote which i use with my LCD monitor when showing a powerpoint pres. That stopped working 2 weeks ago, mysteriously, after working for weeks. I didn't realize it was the usb port until i tried installing the Palm keyboard yesterday and it didn't work either.
I run Windows XP on an Inspiron 8100.
Thanks.

o.k. ...I uninstalled and allowed Windows to redetect the USB ports. It worked...now when I connect my PDA cable I hear the "beep-beep" that I am used to hearing, so I know the power has been reactivated to the ports. But, I still can't get my PDA to actually make the connection (it just thinks and thinks until I click cancel, then tells me it couldn't establish a connection). I have recently installed Microsoft's Antispyware. Could that be blocking my USB connection? If so, any ideas as to what settings need to be changed? I am looking around myself for it.
Thanks a bunch!267

One problem fixed :)
Is there any software or drivers for the PDA that needs to be installed? Now that the ports are working again, maybe you need to remove the PDA stuff and reinstall again.

See if that fixes it.
