Hi

 

 

 

I have Windows XP, and when I start my computer, the usb plugs work. It's only when the computer is on for a few hours that it starts doing that, the usb that are not used by the mouse (that means only one is used on the 5 that are on the computer), when I plug a device, maybe the printer or the usb key, they don't show up on windows as online.

 

 

 

For those who think it is the powersave, no it is not enabled.

 

 

 

Also, I have the same problem with the screen, when I start the computer half of the time I have tu shut it off and start it again for something to show up on the screen after loading windows.

 

 

 

Thank your for you help in advance and if you guys need more info I will give info.

For the screen check the connection from the screen to the Pc as well as the screens power supply.

 

How much time do you give windows to show the USB devices?

 

If you only wait for a minute or two, leave it 5 or 10 minutes and see if it shows up. It may just be windows has a lot of programs to handle.

 

/\Are the only thinks I can think of at this moment in time.

Seems it's neither...

 

 

 

Maybe buying vista and putting it on the computer could repair a lot lol I've been thinking about that for a while now, just, vista is quite expensive.

Buy new ones, I had a similar problem and I got new ones and then they worked fine. For me the connection was just bad, but I don't know in your case... :-s

They are attached to my motherboard (the usb plugs) so I don't know if I can remove them from there or not (didn't look yet).

You don't need to remove them, just buy a pci usb addon card, or you can buy ones which connect to a spare usb header on your motherboard. This is not guaranteed to fix your problem though.
