Just today, I removed my GFX card from its slot, and when I put it back in all my USB ports aren't working. When I plug a controller or mouse into the port, microsoft xp can't detect it. HELP!!
I already tried:
- Installing MOBO Chipset drivers
- Reinstalling the USB drivers
- Removing the entire comp from the case
- Checked the BIOS

kinda off topic but why did you remove your GFX card in the first place?

that sucks, and about your usb problem, have you tried looking on your video card's website's forums? b/c i have never heard of this case before. maybe when you took out your vid card the usb ports fried??? i think it is a microsoft problem...

If u right click my computer, go to manage, device manager, look at the very bottom of the list. It should be ur usb controller, is there a yellow explanation mark by it? or does it display ur ports like normal?

Go back to device manager and uninstall the video card and the usb controller. Then reboot!
