    Your subject should read "Desktop Computer USB not working correctly ".
    Have you tried all the ports in the back?

      Does it show up in Disk Management ? ?
      Have you tried re-installing the desktop chipset drivers ? ?

        Have you tried connecting other external devices such as a memory card reader, webcam, mouse or keyboard? How about reinstalling all usb host/controllers and then rebooting? There are certain threads which suggest unplugging power cord from desktop and outlet for a couple of minutes then try booting again you system.

        Can you be more specific here? Post also the computer desktop model and OS service pack.
