unregognised device

Hi, can anyone help? I have a IBM thinkpad t22 running XP.

Everytime I plug in anything in my USB port I get a bubble saying device not recognised. When I click on it I get a window with USB root/ Unknown device/ unused port. the status on the unknown device is: no driver installed. I tried updating the driver but that didnt help. However if I ngo to the usb root from the device manager it doesnt show any problems in the status box??? I'm lost please help.

Pascal

Is this a new thinkpad if so take back to shop, i had that on my pc think was due to motherboard problems as when i fitted a new motherboard device works ok.

Have you tried the device in another computer to check its not the device that is faulty?

Does Device Manager have any yellow exclamation marks for any devices, especially USB?
