Oops, you're right...

I thought that you could see that info from there,
but you can't.

Do you see any yellow exclamation marks in front
of any of the Universal Serial Bus Controller entries
when you click the + sign in front of it?

If not, then XP thiks everything is fine, and you MAY have
had a hardware failure.

I have burned up USB ports by drawing too much current
from them, even though this is NOT supposed to be possible,
they were reported by the system as operational, even though
they were not.

Probably the most direct solution would be to buy a USB
hub and plug it into the still-working ports then plug all
your stuff ino that.

Unless you have lots of spare time and want to continue
messing with this...
