    Have you tried uninstalling all of the USB ports and hubs? Windows will reinstall them when you reboot.

    Open up Device Manager from the Control Panel and scroll all the way down until you see Universal Serial Bus. Open up the Properties of each hub and bus and tell it to uninstall the driver.
