nevermind, everythign works but the ipod... but when i had my flashstick in, I took it out and put in my shuffel really quick and all it told me was taht if it was in a 2.0 usb port it would go faster, so I guess I can trick it to make everything work.

Alright guy's heres my update.. I havent even tried using any new things, nor have I even tried using usb... Well I JUST tried my flashdrive and it works again so I guess the problem fixed itself. cool

I just dont understand why this happened though. What could possibly have changed due to a program using a USB device freezing? It does not make sense. Ive yet to try and fix this problem again since USB isnt the most important thing I have on my laptop (now if my wlan adapter was messing up that would be a different story!!) This is just one big headache, but I am glad this thread is still alive. My one hope is here. Woofer, you should call someone up (me being the lazy bastard I am) and try and find out what you did to fix the problem. I am somewhat experienced in normal software/settings and stuff, but when it comes to bios and firmware and all that other stuff I am completely lost in tryign to trouble shoot it myself.

I am having the same issue also. The source of my problem was a lexmark all in one printer. It froze during a scan and I was forced to end the program, ever since then all of my usb stuff other than my mouse has that annoying bubble pop up. Ive tried everything on that link, but to no avail. Ill soon follow the most recent instructions on this post just above me. this sucks, no ipod for me I will definately follow this topic... because my laptop is no longer under warranty AND i dont have a completely legal copy of an OS if you knwo what I mean... lol
