USB drivers gone missing - help required

Hi,
Im having a nightmare at the moment.
I rebooted my PC and all my usb items (keyboard, mouse, wifi, palm) all stopped working.
Device manager hasnt got a clue what USB is :(
Now to be honest I have no idea how to reinstall the USB drivers for my mobo.
I removed the (!) entries from device manager and rebooted, windows asked to try to
find the drivers on hitting desktop but failed to find them.
I have tried to reinstall the nvidia nforce drivers but this doesnt fix the problem.
Can anyone help ? Any ideas pointers very welcome.
I have searched the Microsoft web site but it just says make sure you have SP2 (which I do).
Thanks in advance.
Space.

Do you overclock? Use corecenter? Flash bios recently? Could be bios corruption....as I recall Murdok saying loss of usb can be an early sign of it. Consider c-mos reset (carefully with power cord removed during whole process) and possible floppy flash to last good working bios. Don't know yet, depends on your answers to those questions. Good luck.
EDIT- By the way, do you have Ghost or Acronis installed to bring your earlier XP install back?
I do overclock but it has been running at 14x200=2800 (2600 stock) for over a year with good temps.
Do not use corecenter, not flashed the bios in months. I did a cmos reset thinking that might be a reason but still have the same problem.
The USB ports are working fine in bios, just windows doesnt load any drivers for them.
And I dont have ghost or acronis installed :O(

My iPhone USB driver has gone missing

My iPhone USB driver has gone missing and won't recognize when I try to update from the device drivers... can someone give a suggestion on how to get it back? It went MIA when I upgraded to the newest iTunes today.

Burd
I'm sorry to hear your phone is not responding! I'd love to get it back up and running. Can you press and hold both the front button and the top button? You may need to hold it for a few minutes, but an Apple will appear when the device resets. Keep us posted!

Drivers seem to have gone missing from the hp drivers website

Most of the drivers HP used to provide for my laptop via Support Center seem to have gone missing. Some of them can be subsidized by installing the drivers windows update or hardware manufactures provide but for my switchable GPU this seems not to be the case at all. From what I gather the driver HP used to provide was custom. Is there any way I could acquire it? Is this new driver depravation situation permanent or will the old software eventually make a reappearance on the website?

I'm having the same problem finding drivers for my ProBook 4540s. I think hp may be adding more though because I think there were more drivers today than yesterday.

Installing LR 3.6 trashed all USB drivers; now installed LR3.5 won't open. Help!

Now installed LR 3.5 will not open. After system restore to day before yesterday, message that "Adobe AIR is damaged" . What is AIR??? How do I get LR back up & running right?

Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime environment. Try downloading and installing it from here.

WAN choice in FN-F5 dialog for TP61 has gone missing

After upgrading to Win 7 (i have a T61 originally marked as a type 6458-CTO) the WAN choice has gone missing from the dialog shown with the FN-F5 key. 802.11 and Bluetooth are still there and working. **I have installed** all the latest drivers I could find on the Lenovo site. **I have checked** that the cables re connected. And **I have tested** with another card (from a working computer without Win7). All to no avail.

64 Bit Windows7/8/8.1 USB drivers for Palm Desktop

Thanks to the great folks over at Aceeca.com (makers of NEW PalmOS Garnet devices), USB drivers for 64bit Vista, Windows 7, and Win 8 operating systems are available. There are many users reporting Palm Desktop 4.x is also working.
I have synced my TX to my Vista64 bit laptop, and Windows 8.1 HP Spectre X2 hybrid successfully via my USB cable.
The drivers are located here:
Aceeca Driver Downloads
Installation instructions (from Aceeca) for Windows 7 are included in the download.
Basic instructions:
1. Download the drivers and Extract them to the same folder. Remember the folder you extracted them to.
2. Try to HotSync your device. It will fail.
3. Open the Device Manager, and look for the Yellow Triangle next to either "Acceca" or "Palm Device" under "Other devices".
4. Right-click on the device, and choose "Update Driver Software".
5. Choose "Browse My Computer for Software" and direct it to the folder you extracted the Aceeca drivers to.
6. Choose "Next" at the driver file location window, and then tell it to "Always trust software from Aceeca Ltd." then click the "Install" button.
7. I received an error message (Vista64) that told me "The drivers were installed but the device couldn't be opened." I saw that my TX had timed out and went to sleep. I tried a HotSync and it worked!!!
Good luck!
NOTE: Palm Desktop 6.22 may only show Media and Install. Here's how to fix that:
If Palm Desktop 6.2.2 only shows Media and Install, try this: Right-click on the shortcut for Palm Desktop, then choose "Run as Administrator". The ther modules should appear.
To make Palm Desktop Run as Administrator every time in Windows 8/8.1:
Close Palm Desktop, if open. (This is a very important thing to always do when using 6.2.2 - it has been known to lose data when a computer is shut down without closing the program!)
Right Click on the Palm Desktop Icon in the Metro screen, then choose "Open File Location". You will now see the actual file for the shortcut.
Right-click on the "Palm Desktop" shortcut file, then Properties. Now pick the Compatibility Tab at the top.
At the bottom of the Compatibility Tab is a checkbox: "Run this Program as Administrator", Click OK .
Try opening Palm Desktop, all the parts should appear. You may see a box open when you close the program asking "Did the program run correctly?" I picked "Yes", and it's been working fine since then!
If you are using a much older PalmOS device and want to try using Palm Desktop 4.x, you will need this additional patch from Pimlico Software:
Palm HotSync Setup
WyreNut
Forum member bobboffin has added this post:
"After attempting your first HotSync and failing (as expected) you may be unable to find any trace of the device in Device Manager, making the next step quite difficult. This happened to me, and after some investigation I discovered the following tip that allows Device Manager to show hidden and non-present devices.
Open up Notepad and paste the following two lines into it:
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc
Save it as SetDev.bat into My Documents.
Open My Documents in Windows Explorer and double click on SetDev.bat. Device Manager should open.
In the View menu select Show Hidden Devices.
You may now see under the Other heading the failed device with a yellow triangle against it.
You can now proceed to install the drivers per the instructions.
Note that the driver supports most Palm OS versions. I'm actually using an Aceeca Meazura 1000 ruggedized PDA running OS 4.1 --- bobboffin"
Hope this helps!

Thank you so much. I was thoroughly disappointed to see that the support telephone for paid support had been discontinued. I thought I would need to replace my (ancient but serviceable) Z22.
I followed the instructions listed here and am very happy to report that I completed a sync!
Thanks again.

Where are the USB drivers for my MSI board??

Got a new MSI board- VIA KM266 Pro + 8237 Chipset Based. I installed my new AMD 2300+, WIN XP, etc. I have a USB printer. Got everything installed, printed a test page, and then a document. Everything fine. THEN, I go to use my printer a few days later and it says "Printer not responding". So I troubleshoot, and then go into Device Manager and notice there are no USB devices installed. The new MSI board has 4 USB ports on it. The CD that came with the board has no USB drivers on it (I checked). WIN XP has no USB drivers. What is going on? How do I get the USB ports to work? Am I looking at it all wrong? Appreciate any help out there!

sonic, what is your USB printer?

On my Mac, in Documents folders A-G have gone missing. When I try to access the backup in time machine, it won't let me go back at all. This is a major problem and I have no idea what happened or how to fix it!

All folders up to "H" have gone missing and for some reason when I go into Time Machine, I'm not able to access any of the backups. It won't let me select any of the screens behind the current one and when I click on the right hand side on any of the dates listed, nothing happens. I really need to get this fixed. Any help????

I don't know what will help at this point. You should never update a system that has problems, unless you're absolutely sure that the problems are caused by a bug that is fixed in the update. With your backups in an uncertain state, you should not update or do anything else except start a new backup.

My 3D And Analysis menus have gone missing in my PS CS4 Extended

Hopefully this is the correct place to post this. I have PS CS4 Extended version, and I had the 3D and Analysis menus like it's supposed to have, and now for some reason, they have gone missing, they are not there in my top menu items anymore, there are 9 there now instead of 11, I just noticed this recently, and when I open the program, on the splash screen, it just says Adobe Photoshop CS4, and not Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended like it used to, is there any explanation for this? I have it installed on my laptop, which is a hp dv6 1360us, and it does have the proper hardware to handle 3D and the sort and there have been no changes to that, so that really can't be the issue. I do remember using ccleaner about a week or 2 ago to clean up my computer and in doing so I accidently removed a few files that had photoshop in the filename, registry files, so could I possibly have messed up my photoshop by removing those files? I don't really know. I did a system restore, and got those files back, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my version of photoshop, and I still have the same problem. If anyone could possibly help me sort this out it would be awesome and I'd really appreciate it.

Was this a 30 day trial download of PS CS4 extended and maybe you purchased, from Adobe, PS CS4 (not extended) serial number and entered that?
the serial number that is entered determines if PS CS4 is Extended or not.
I would contact Adobe Customer service. There is nothing anybody can do on here with a serial number problem.
