'Pooter problem,dead USB port.

KeefyB · 01-Nov-2004, 18:07

I'm presently using an old IBM Thinkpad laptop.Its been good as gold untill recently when I tried to download some pics from my digi camera.The Kodak software cant seem to detect that the camera is connected.The only other item Ive got that uses the USB is my mobile phone.The software cant seem to detect that either.

Ive been into the system and all the device properties say that that everything should be working ok.Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software to no avail.
Looks like I'll be buying a new 'pooter soon.
