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.

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

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.
