What happens if you do the same again but don't have the printer connected
to the PC when you reboot? Then plug in the MP3 player - does Windows see
it?

I did as the last post said and uninstalled all of the USB Controllers. I
started the computer up with out my printer plugged into the computer and had
only the MP3 player plugged in, my computer did recognize the player briefly
(it doesn't recognize it once I re-started the second time). Anything else I
plugged in after was not recognized. I tried the same thing with my phone
(It's new and I really wanted to see the pictures on my computer) an
installation wizard comes up and tells me that I need a disc to install the
hardware. My cell phone company where I bought the phone says "no, just plug
it in and your computer will recognize it, we have no software for the phone"
I know that I am adding issues and problems, but you have all been so
helpful before, and I was hoping you might have some more ideas for me.
Thanks,
Monique

When you plug in the phone try telling the New Hardware wizard not to search
for the driver. Manually point to \windows\system32\inf. If that resolves
it, see
http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtrouble_e.html#xp_asks_for_drivers for a more
permanent solution.
