Did Norton 2010 corrupt my USB ports

Not sure what you're looking at, but assuming you are running XP:

Restore a system checkpoint:
- Go to the Help (from the start menu)
- Click "undo changes to your computer with System Restore" (on right side of wndow)
- A new window will open. Select "Restore my computer to an earlier time" and click "Next".
- The window will show a calendar of possible restore point. Pick the one that is the most recent before you started having the problem. If you go too far back, you might get rid of other stuff you don't want.
- Follow the prompts and see if it helps.


Check USB Hub drivers:
- On the my computer icon, right-click and select "manage".
- In the window that comes up, click "Device manager" on the left.
- Scroll to the bottom of the right window pane and you'll see "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"; expand that section (click the little + sign).
- Right-click the top item, select "Update Driver".
- Select one of the "yes" options and click "Next".
- Select the automatic install option, and click "Next".
- It will try to find a new drive. It may find something, it may not. When its done, click finish.
- Go to the next item and repeat the last 3 steps.
