faulty USB ports is driving me nuts...HELP
I have this computer more or less:
https://www.dbcscomputer.ca/product/...reconditioned/ and it has 3 USB ports. The one by itself on the left side is always fine but the 2 on the right side (where I plug in my USB keyboard and USB mouse) sometimes dies on me, so that my keyboard and mouse no longer works. I can only 'fix' this by restarting my computer, until the next time it happens. I'm not good w computer but entered Device Manager and it seems to recognize both devices when I plug them in, says "device is working properly" but obviously they don't. They supposedly have the most updated drivers. I plugged in a portable USB drive to test both ports and they recognize and can access the drive's directory, so it's definitely not a hardware prb and something to do w the communication between my USB keyboard/USB mouse and the computer that gets 'triggered' while I'm using the computer. If helpful, the laptop's keyboard and mousepad always work. I'm stumped...any help from the IT experts here?
