The question is how can I reactivated my card reader along with the front USB ports. There was no driver disk with this item as it was plug and play. The floppy drive is working fine.
I have recently reactivated the USB port on the mother board by reloading the support disk.
I am beginning to think that there is a unknown virus in the system but each time I have scanned the system with Norton Anti Virus it dose not show anything up. I also do a regular sweep with Webroot SpySweeper on a weekly time scale.
Thank you for your time in this matter.

Found this information on a web search using MonsterCrawler.Hope it helps Terry.
1. Unplug everything and open the case.
2. Clear the CMOS
3. Unplug the USB connector on the Motherboard next to the CMOS reset switch then plug it back in.
4. Reboot
5. Go into Windows XP; all your USB devices should work now.
6. Reboot, go into the BIOS and put your settings back to the way you had them before.

Download Ewido and scan with it it will find what norton will not. It is a free
download and it updates for a couple of day`s. but of course with all
good software it is not free after so many day`s. I found trojan horse with Ewido. give it a try.
EDIT:Forgive me Terry I am still following your post and keeping up with The
A/C Man.
Subject: Surgeons
So true
Five Surgeons are discussing the types of people they like to operate on.
The first surgeon says: "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."
The second responds: "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded."
The third surgeon says: "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers... Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over."
But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There are no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the butt are interchangeable."

Any chance of having the link to this item.
I am currently running Microsoft's Malicious software tool.
I had done everything that you first suggested and that did not work.
I used the spy-ware program that you had recommended it did find 6 spy-wares that Spy Sweeper did not detect.
I have got things working agian after about 4 hours work the card readers are back on line.
I think that the problem was with the Microsoft XP OS, there must have been a corrupt file some where, I had purchased a up grade disk to up graded the lap top I use, so I used that disk to upgrade the XP OS on desk top but things appear to working fine at this time.
I only have four items in the device manager and they are as follows.
1. SCSI/RAID HOST CONTROLLER.
2. VIA SATA RAID CONTROLLER.
3. SCSI ADAPTER.
4. VIA SATA RAID CONTROLLER.
if you can help on these matters you will be a great help if you could advise me as to where the drivers are.
[RESOLVED] USB ports stooped working
This one involved the USB ports on the mother board and the front USB ports along with my Mitsumi floppy drive and 7 in 1 card reader.
