First Unplug all your USB Device. Then reboot your PC. Then wait for few second. And then plug your USB device like your digital cam and microphone headset one at a time. at the lower right corner of the screen after you plug any USB device it will prompt a message that "Found new hardware" if your using Windows XP.\n\nIf its not still working, If your Digital Camera or Headset has a driver included that match your Windows Operating system then install it first.\n\nIf still not working, look for the Motherboard driver of your PC. Then look for drivers and utility and then try to re-install the USB drivers. It might corrupt some of the files so it wont work, may be?\n\nLast option, try to plug your digital camera at other computer and observe what will be happened or message display.

The drivers are for your motherboard.\n\nIf you have the Mobo disk, just insert and choose to replace the USB drivers.\n\nIf no disk, find out exactly which Mobo you have and d/l usb drivers from manufacturers web site.\n\nGood luck

Go into the hardware manager and delete it.  Reboot the machine and see if Plug N Play will see it.

It says this even when you have an install disk?  XP is pretty good with installing new hardware, and mice are usually offered a universal driver if XP can't find your particular model.  If other USB devices work, you might have a bum motherboard, USB controllor, or some strange corruption on XP.  I'm all for the returning idea if the retailer or manufacturer can't fix it.

Do you have USB? If so just buy a USB external CD drive and it should plug right in and work. \n\nYou might have to install a driver but it will come with the drive you buy.

it might me the motherboard or the ram. \n\nthe usb is on the motherboard anf you can not just replace the usb on it.\n\nmemory because a memory post beep would be a stedy beep on a laptop.

sounds like an un usual issue you have there, have you got USB enabled all the way in the bios ie usb keyboard, usb mouse as enabled and usb enabled ?\n\nAlso www.usbman.com have a very good FAQ which would defintly be worth while checking out. Also if you right click my computer --> manage --> disk management ( that is how I am assuming you are deciphering if it detects it or not ? ) As for not mounting it, have you formatted the disk  / memory stick or whatever it is ?

Do you hook them to USB ports on the computer, or via a hub?\nWith both HDDs connected, go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, disc management.\nCheck whether and how they show up and look at the info (right click).  It should give you hints as to what to do next.  Sometimes it's just a matter of initializing it.\nOn my system (similar set up) any number of USB drives show up fine.  I have even copied huge folders from two internal to two external HDDs at the same time!

Sometimes just wiggling the cord gently can help your compter recognize it, otherwise just keep removing it and reinserting, the computer will find it. \n\nMake sure your usb ports aren't full of dust too

usb will work... you might need to invest in a hub first though.

Check your BIOS beware don’t change anything only if your are sure what you are doing just look if someone didn’t disabled this function. Otherwise try the file usb2fix www.download.com check also your drivers right click on your computer (but you know this)

Did you turn on the camera and switch it to the view images mode? You need to have the camera on for it to work.\n\nAlso make sure you have Windows XP, otherwise you may need to install additional software that came with the camera.\n\nFinally, you can always reboot with everything plugged in and on to see if it will recognize the USB connection then.

you probably have a hub and a couple of devices like mice and keyboards on there, remove a couple of devices and try again or buy a powered USB hub and use that.

its not possible to conect them directly with a USB cable, you need a special cable that you can find at the link. \n\nThis will connect the computer with the USB cab

If you have a USB any computer will sense it (even without XP) if you go to "My Computer" it will show up as "Removable Disk". So go there if it doesn't automatically pop up a dialog box with some options!

CHECK AND SEE IF YOUR USB PORT IS WORKING
