Hello,

I've been chasing this problem for weeks now...XP designated all of my

USB devices...except a printer...as an "Unknown Device". I thought a

restore would work........nope, then reinstall XP.......again nope.

Tried to delete USB/Unknown from registry....would not delete. Scoured

the MS FAQ's and KB's.....nothing.

Anyway I've researched, installed, uninstalled, clicked until....out of

the blue.....just like the problem started....XP recognized (as of this

moment) the USB ports.

I've created a restore point and want to back up whatever else

practical so I can get back to this working point should it become

necessary.

What else can/should I backup, save or copy to cd or disk so I can

avoid another hassle???

Thanks,

Dave
 
Weird problem, but now to your question. If are using the
Ntbackup built in utility, make sure that you backup the
System State. This will automatically include the system
registry.

An even better idea, is to ghost an image of your hard
drive. Hard drives are cheap compared to the time wasted
reinstalling OS's and applications.
