Problem windows XP usb problem

Basically i have a windows XP laptop SP3 all was working the night before as normal, the next morning all seemed ok until i plugged a USB device in and it does not recognize device although the power light is lit for the device. i tried a 2gb flash drive also a usb scanner canonscan FB636u and an external hard drive. the hard drive made a message pop up saying power overload restarted pc and still no usb, i wiped the laptop and just tried the usb stick and nothing.

is my laptop a toaster now?

only using the laptop as scanner does not have drivers above XP

many thanks

 

and also under device manager they showing as no current problem everything is ok

 

Try disabling or uninstalling the controllers and rebooting with nothing plugged into them.

 

ok will do, i have deleted all the usb stuff under device manager and scanned for new hardware it came back said all was ok, plugged flash drive in lights up for a second and nothing under my computer, also does not install device

 

Under Hub Properties > Power Management > Allow computer to turn off power isn't checked.
PM DDP and ask to take a look at this thread.

 

Do you have a powered usb hub you can test your USB drives with?

 

I've had usb problems before and following the instructions here helped me
