Page 1 of problem with pc?

hi
for some reason my computer wont pick up any usb devices on the front ports on my case, but i have no troubles in the back, i have been into the bios and it picks it up in there when someting is plugged into the front.
i have checked the usb cable and it is plugged into the motherboard correctly, its a antec 1200 case.
its running with windows xp home edition sp3
when i plug in the device e.g data stick the light on the stick comes on for about 2 seconds and then nothing.
i have been into the disk management tool but it doesnt show up in there either.

anyone have any ideas as to what it can be causing the problem?

I`d go into device manager and delete the USB ports, reboot and let windows find them again.

hi
just tried that and it still wont

Check that you have the front ports connected correctly. You normally screw that up :D

lol yeh i do but no this time i havent its a blocked connector so i can only get it in one way anyway, ive also tried it in the other usb ports that are on the motherboard.

Any BIOS settings for turning the front ports on and off?

hi
yes there is but they are turned on i have also updated the bios to the latest version but that also hasnt made a difference, im now wondering whether there is a fault with the motherboard.
