reset usb port

I have inadvertently unplugged my HP webcam from the usb port with out using the safely removal thing. Now my webcam is not being recognized by my computer. I have tried using my other ports and have the same result, not being rocognized. I have read some where that you could reset the usb ports and this would fix it. Is there any truth to this and if so how do I go about to reset usb port. I had the same thing happen to a mp3 player but had to replace mp3 player and all worked. Does this mean that the usb port is bad or the webcam is bad. Totally confused.

Re: reset usb port

Try re-installing your camera - also try the camera in another machine to make you you didn't fry the camera's USB interface.

And showing us where you read the USB port reset would be helpful, as I can persaonally say I have never heard of a "USB port reset"
