USB devices are detected, but I can't access any fles

Hello

Ive had a very weird problem.  Everything was fine until this afternoon.  I unplugged a usb (Sandisk blade) flash drive and when I put a new one in I couldn't access the files.  He says drive D was there, but I couldn't access it and everything he told me to do, it was to format the drive.  I tried the same thing with other readers and portable hard drive and it's the same thing. I tried these on other machines, and they work very well which seems to indicate a problem with my system.  I had done a few updates for .net, but I uninstalled them I'm sure. They appear in Device Manager.  Said of the USB storage device usb and HARD drive said it was something another beginning with I (device inditto or something.  It escapes me at the moment.  Something like Indento device or something.  I tried to uninstall only for devices to be taken back, with their correct names, and he says that the facility is very well, but still I can't access it. When I click on them.  A couple of times I tried to let the readers and they seemed fully functional, but once I got out them again the problem starts again.  I tried to reassign the drive, turning letters works, plug in the usb key and auxiliary ports and now I am at my wits end.  If someone out there can help, I would be very grateful.  My specs:

XP SP3
Dell Dimension DXPO51
2,81 Ghz
2gig RAM
