Default New Hardware drver install issues

When I try plugging anything into any USB port, it will recognize there is
something there, but just put it under other devices with a ? in the device
manager. If I right click and tell it to update the driver, it automatically
does it and adds the device. I have to do this for every device I plug in.
If it is for a memory stick it has to be done for both the stick, then the
drive. Is there something that got turned off or needs to be turned back on?
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

I tried what you suggested without success. The problem is that it isn't
seeing the device being plugged it, it sees it. It just doesn't automatically
install the drivers for them when they are plugged in.

I am having the same exact problem installing my sony digital camera, so
annoying.. I even bought a Memory stick reader. That will not install
either. does the same thing. call Sony support. called dell support.
everyone asks the same question, I give the same answers, no one can
seem to help. I have a zip drive and modem both on usb, both uninstall
and install by unplugging ang plugging back in.. No such luck with
anthing else I try to plug in..

If you find out anthing Please Let me know!!!
