Couple of different reasons USB ports can go bad Stag01. It’s possible that the drivers for the ports aren’t installed correctly – open Device Manager on a Windows PC and see if any of the devices have a ! next to them. If they do and they are something like a “USB Controller” then that may be your issue.

It’s also possible that the USB ports somehow became shorted out (My mother did this to her laptop a few years ago). A quick solution is to buy a PCMCIA Card (Or simply PC-Card) with USB Ports on it. This works well on laptops, however for a desktop you may need to buy a PCI Card / USB controller.

Lastly, it could simply be that the USB ports are disabled in Windows or BIOS, in which case you’d need to check those settings.

And since most of my replies are humorous, I’ll add that USB ports not working certainly isn’t funny. But imagining a grizzly bear driving recklessly down a highway is. It’s a fact!

Before I tell you the answer, let me tell you a bit about how people end up in these situations. You can probably imagine a life without Facebook, Twitter, or e-mail – but why would you want to? After all, your damn strawberries are about to wilt on your imaginary farm, and Miley Cyrus just asked about a good name for her new cat to the Twitterverse. Priorities people – you can’t be bothered with something of lesser importance like, say, work, when these earth shattering events are occurring.

However sometimes, your ole’ pal Mr. Computer get’s sick of your web shenanigans. Actually let me rephrase that:Your Ole’ Pal Mr. Computer GETS SICK (as in has a virus) from your web shenanigans. In this case, the antivirus that’s really a virus, seems to be easily corrected thanks to this page of information on it. Now go there, clean it up, and then get back to planting your onions and finding your cows!

Good Farming,
