For some reason, my Plug n Play is not working correctly. I've plugged in a cordless mouse receiver, a new printer and a USB hub into my USB port and they are not recognized. The only thing I can plug into my USB port and work is my gamepad controller and my jumpdrive. What's the fix for this problem?

Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks
