i think i changed the settings on the pc so that whatever is needed to load a periphial via a usb connection will not load.
the only hardware that is recognized via my usb ports are devices previously installed successfully.
the pc no longer will recognize/install external hard drives
it won't recognize or install my 60 gb maxtor or 2 different 3.5 inch floppy drives, one or which is memorex the other smartdisk.
when i plug them in the pc shuts down, restarts and then shuts down and reloads over and over untill i unplug the usb cord.
i'm running
