I am running vista home basic and everytime I start my computer up from standby nothing I attach to any of the usb ports works, I have tried everything. Please help.
Usually this is a driver problem with the USB device. Goto device manager. See what driver you are using. Google to see if there are other options for your device.
also check the power settings for your USB root hubs in Device manager, don't let them be powered down when not in use.
