Have you tried doing a Windows Update to get the latest, greatest
updates from MS? How about re-installing the USB driver for your USB
port? Are there any broken devices in Device Manager?

Too late for this now - but when you uninstalled the drivers/software,
if it said, "No one else appears to using these files, should I remove
them?" you should always answer *NO*, because more than once removing
such files can screw up Windows. So if you happened to do that - that
could have caused your problem.

You might try plugging the cable into a different USB port. As a more
drastic measure, you might try getting a new plug-in USB card for your
computer and plugging the cable in there. For a desktop PC, if you
have a slot, this is a pretty cheap solution. Sometimes the older
motherboard chipsets have a flakey USB implementation that causes
certain kinds of devices not to work well.
