I am having issues with my USB connections. I have tried just about everything that I know to do. I am running WinXP, SP2. I have updated my BIOS, uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers in safemode, turned off the power management in Device manager, and attempted to clean up the registry. When I uninstall, and reboot to normal mode, the devices are recognized, however, they still don't work. I have tried to plug in my mouse, printer, camera card etc, and nothing is working. Please help! I am at my wits end with this thing!

Sounds like the usb's are working except for the connection issue(s).
First you will need to re-boot your computer into the "BIOS", you will need to press either of these keys on your keyboard: F1, f2 or DEL key. When in the bios look for the "usb" section and make sure that all are marked "enable" also the one that says "legacy". When all done, then before you EXIT, make sure you "save and exit", this will re-boot your computer and also makes sure you have all the usb connections fully enabled. :)
