hello,
could be plugnpray 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.
