USB problems

I'm having a strange problem with a computer and it's USB ports. Basically when I plug in a device, either my Ipod or Zen thing they don't appear anywhere in my computer but when connected the Ipod will charge and connecting the Zen will turn it on. Any ideas?

Ye the Zen and Ipod use different cables and the Ipod works on my computer. They were both tried in 4 different USB ports always with the same resault. I used device manager to uninstall the USB root hubs and then when I restarted windows detected new hardware and reinstalled them. Still nothing when they are connected. I have my Ipod set to be used as a storage device and it dosn't appear in my computer when connected, just sits there charging.

Have you disabled any windows services?

Not sure it's a friends computer so I can't check. I don't think he is likely to have but I'll check when I go round later.

All services are running, any ideas about the registry fix mentioned earlier?
