Parallel & USB ports don't read.

After upgrading to XP Professional from XP Home
Edition, all my USB ports (4) and LPT1 printer port will
write only. None will no longer "Read". Hence, my camera
is not detected at all on any USB port, and the printer
properties will not allow me to enable bidirectional
support (the box and text are faded out).
Yes, I reinstalled the software for the camera with no
luck. The problem is located somehow in the ports
themselves. They all "read" before the upgrade using XP
Home Edition, and my camera is still detected on other
computers using XP Home Edition.
Please... What can I do and where can I do it?
 
Open Device Manager by doing the following:
- Click Start
- Right-click My Computer and go to Manage
- Click Device Manager

Do you see any items that have an exclamation mark (!) on them? If so,
double-click those items and see what the explanation is. If some cases, you
may need special drivers (though this is unlikely for most motherboards).
