iPod shuffle has broken my PC

I just installed itunes to go with an ipod shufle i purchased today, I have just unplugged it from the pc and all my usb ports are reporting a malfunction!! I have tried rebooting.

It is a Dell 9200, so the keyboard and mouse are both usb connections only, nothing is working.

Please help..........:bawling:

 

Someone has given me a solution that has worked:

There was a trick that I could do on my old PC when the USB ports went silly.

Turn off the PC, switch the power to off on the switch on the back of the PC, unplug PC from mains, hold down the PC power on button for 40 seconds, then plug it back in, turn power switch on, power PC up as usual.

 

So that works by discharging any residual power?

 

that what you get when you go for apple!

 

Yup, I was surprised too.

 

Thanks for the tip, lol. As the saying goes, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

 

Similar thing happened with me as well. When i was using Pen Drive on my PC, it showed malfunction message, so it means that my pendrive got corrupted due to in appropriate insertion. Well i had to buy new pen drive as a solution. Guess you too will have to follow the same thing.
