hi buddy
could be plug n pray has gone wrong for those devices

Download and run USBDeview from
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

You get a list of attached (or oast attached) USB devices. Unplug them all then use the tool to delete the lot from the list, then try plugging them in again.

With luck they'll work.

hope this will be helpful to you
