hey Ali,
See were still having some problems with the old pc again. Might as well kick it huh lol.

Have you gone into yuor device manager and seen if any device has a yellow or red mark next to it?

how do i do that?

right click my computer.....click on manage....then in the left hand side of the box that pops up you will see "device manager" click on that and all your things connected to your pc will show up. Let us know if there are any yellow or red marks by any device

ok nevermind found it...

yes there is a yellow mark by "PnP BIOS Extension" under system devices

Are you using Deamon tools or alcohol 120% or some other type of emulation software?

If not use this program to enable or disable unplug and play
