I know this must be somewhere but I cannot see it.

My computer has this morning been used several times in connecting and disconnecting several USB connected MPX players. But then it stopped recognizing them.

How do I unscrew my Windows XP computer so that I can connect my MPX Players again?

elwynjenkins,
A few things you can try.
The USB cable may have a loose connection so try another.
Try a USB port unused before if possible.
Right click My Computer, select properties, Hardware, Device Manager, Universal Serial Bus controllers and right click on each entry and select Uninstall, then reboot and Windows will reinstall all the devices, you may need your XP install disk.

Aha. Thanks for the info. What I did was bounced my computer for a warm restart and found that my computer would recognize USB connected players.

THanks for the pointer.
