Thanks Ka2H, I have checked the artilce and unfortunately this does not help.
When I right click the device that it says is not working, bearing in mind
that there is no other device connected to the pc then the properties windon
in device manager do the following
shows
Device Type Universal Serial Bus Controller
Manufacturer (Standard USB Host Controller)
Location 0 (USB Device)
The device status then alternates between No Drivers INstalled for this
device and a Code 45 message.
The final thing that I can tell you is when I check the driver details it
says the publisher is Microsoft Windows Publisher, date 01/07/2001 and the
details are 5.1.2600.0
Can anyone help please?

I am sorry that the referenced article did not put you in position to
resolve your problem with the Not Recognized USB Device – so far.
I assume that the problem occurred as a (mal-) function of one kind or
another following an activity when you worked on the PC, and that you are
absolutely confident the PC is free of any kind of malware. It might be
useful to see whether you could recall when it happened, or / and any
updates, downloads of programs etc. that was installed in the same timeframe.

Another Microsoft article which may be helpful is “How to troubleshoot
unknown devices that are listed in Device Manager in Windows XP”:

“Explanation of error codes generated by Device Manager in Microsoft Windows
XP Professional”, although it doesn’t really give you a lot:

And two more references to Microsoft articles which don’t apply directly to
your case, but -;
