USB Power Surge

by bluehole.foetry Jan 30, 2009 11:59PM PST

I was getting the USB Power surge message I've read about in a few places on this forum. Instead of turning the message off, I was prompted with some other message (of course I was stupid, didn't write it down, and now I've forgotten what it was). But it has turned off all of my usb ports. I've tried a number of things, including using device manager to uninstall and reinstall usbs, but they still don't recognize anything plugged into them. windows xp. any ideas? thanks.
