USB ports not working after crash
After a recent system crash, anything plugged into the USB ports do not work, including the mouse.
I am running windows xp with all the recent updates installed on a inspiron 8600.
The device manager does not register anything wrong with the USB and I tried updating the drivers through it.
It would be great if there was a simple fix to this.

Althought this is the Dimension Desktop section of the forum, not the Inspiron section, I assume it works the same way.
What caused or what did you do for the system "crash"? Did you reinstall everything? and if so, on Desktops the Dell chipset drivers need to be installated and I assume that is the same on the Inspiron. Another thing to try is uninstall ALL the USB entries in the Windows Device manager, restart Widnows and Windows should detect the USB and reinstall it.
You may be better of posting this on the Inspiron section of the forum where those more familiar with that model can assist you.
