USB Issue

I've had this computer for a little over a year, and had no issues with it, with the exception of a USB issure I've had trouble solving. Now I want to wire up a printer to it, and I'm finding some issues with my USB drives... again. My father's memory stick doesn't work, and nor does my MP3 player, with the current USB drives. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Does it not recognize any USB devices??
If thats the case, sometimes you can remove the USB controllers, reboot and let windows pick them back up. Sometimes this fixes that problem.
If you right click on "My Computer" and choose properties, go to the "Hardware" tab and then click the "Device Manager" button. At the bottom of the list you will find the USB section. Click the + symbol to expand it and remove each device listed and reboot. Let windows pick them back up and then try plugging in a USB device again.

and tell me does windows recognize it?
I think your problem is due to the service pack (you don't have any) does your windows has the SP I or SP II?

My computer does recongnize the printer when it plugs in, but I have a new problem now. When I attempt to install the printer, it tells me I need something called a Print Spooler, does anyone know what this is, and where I can get it?
