I have a new IBM ThinkPad T42p with two built-in USB 2.0 ports. The system
came with XP Pro SP1 installed and the ports did work. After going to the
microsoft web site and installing all of the patches and updates to include
SP2 the ports no longer work – the devices still work on other systems just
not the new laptop. IBM will simply reload the SP1 image onto the hard drive
and I cannot find any data on the Microsoft web site that will help to
resolve the problem or identify which patch to remove. I have already gone
into Device Manager and uninstalled all of the USB devices and ten had the
system reinstall all of the devices (controllers and hubs) but the mouse and
flash drive are still ignored even though I can tell both are getting power
(lights on devices).
Any ideas – thanks in advance…. norm
