    Need help desperately, Unknown devices problem

    So one day I turned on my computer from a hibernation, and the windows didn't resume correctly, so i dumped the restore and just rebooted. Following that, none of my usb devices worked. In my device manager, under Universal Serial Bus controllers, there are two unknown devices (I uploaded a picture).

    I've looked all over microsoft support for an update that would help, and I couldn't find anything. PLEASE HELP!! I NEED MY FLASH DRIVE FOR COLLEGE!!

    Download a program called DriverMax. There is a free trial for this. This program has an "Unknown Devices identifier" and is very easy to use

    DriverMax looks promising and it is free. Thanks

    probably a registry error. If drivermax doesn't work, try a repair install.
