    Check in the Device Manager to see if the USB controller drivers are installed. Any yellow exclamation marks next to it? If so, find your motherboard driver CD or go to your motherboard manufacturer for them.

    No USD devices

    In Computer Mangement there are no USB devices listed even though there are two behind the box.
    What are my options??

    You didn't go to Device Manager. Go to Control Panel > System > click Hardware tab > click Device Manager. Any yellow exclamation marks next to any devices?

    Hi

    Failing all the options suggested, try to run a System File Check by keying in the Start > Run 'sfc /scannow' and OK (Get your Wins XP CD ready)

    Have a nice day!

    Try installing mainboard chipset drivers, and make sure USB controllers are enabled in BIOS. They might need an IRQ too, most BIOSes have an option to assign one for USB.
