I have a HP Computer that the built in USB Ports do not show up either in the device manager,My Computer or the control panel. I have tried to use the ports and they do not work. The computer is a HP Media Center PC m7640N. Do you people have any suggestions how to bring back my USB Ports?

try scanning for hardware changes in the control panel. Did you ever use the USB ports on this computer? Did you get any CDs with the computer? It is possible that you may have to reload something which can usually be done without losing what you already have on the computer.

First, try going to HP's site and downloading the chipset (motherboard) drivers and running that.

If that does not work, look through the BIOS and make sure USB is not disabled.

If thise fail, open the case and see if they are even plugged in. When I got my HP media center system they never plugged in the front cardreaders.
