But powered USB devices are not recognized

Randomly on my personal self built computer, readers usb ceased to recognize anything I put in them.  The strangest thing is that the devices kept under tension.  The mouse led would light up and charge the ipod.  I had to plug into an old school mouse and keyboard that do not use usb to use the machine.

I tried:
Unistalling/reinstalling usb drivers
Update BIOS
Uninstalling drivers for devices (ipod, keyboard, mouse, external hard drive)
Updated motherboard drivers
Compensation to reinstall Vista

I'm really confused on what else to try.

Data sheet:
Q6600 2.4
750FTW
500 GB WD 7200 RPM hard drive
2x2gb gskill
EVGA 9800

Any ideas would be useful.  Right now, the only thing I can think is to replace the motherboard, but I feel that I would not.  Thank you.

Hello

If you can not embedded USB to work then you can disable it in the BIOS and the device
Manager and use a USB expansion card that is not expensive.

Check the BIOS settings.

  • Some USB devices are more recognized when plugged after upgrading Fusion 7

    After reclassification of the merger of 6 to 7, some USB devices, specifically webcams is faster to connect to Windows (guest) or Host (osx).

    They also no longer appear in the USB & Bluetooth under the Virtual Machine settings.  Anyone else see this problem?  Try to understand this point, I completely uninstalled merger to try to solve this problem.  Webcams work fine under OSX itself and are usable.

    7 merger supports a virtual USB camera, that can be added as a new device in the virtual machine settings. This allows the physical camera (USB or integrated PCIe FaceTime HD) to share between the host and the VM at the same time.

    There is currently no option in the settings of the VM to UN-hide USB cameras for passthrough to the virtual machine, but it can be done with a preference.

    Edit the ~/Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/preferences file and add the following line:
