Normally there is no driver to install or configure anything. Simply connect the USB cable that connects the screen to the computer, and it will work like any USB hub when you plug a USB device. Check that the USB cable that connects your monitor to your PC is secure and tries to change it if ever. Also tries to connect to another USB port on your PC

Just go to Start / Run and type regedit to navigate to the registry.
Then go to this location :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ USBSTOR

The value of START defined if usb ports are active or not. Set this value to 4 if you want to disable, or 3 to reactivate them.
