1} uninstall your drivers correctly
-----------
1) boot into safe mode, this is a must as the device manager is meant to be operated there,
2) right click on my computer and go properties, hit the hardware tab and go to the device manager
3) uninstall all usb drivers> FIRST universal controllers, enhanced controllers and any other devices first then the usb root hubs(any order)....... upon reboot and login of windows your drivers will be reinstalled,
=============
drivers aren't reinstalled at reboot login?
go start> control panel> printers and other hardware then go to add new hardware and follow the wizard
or
go start> control panel>add new hardware

the ultimate hot-fix for USB issues is simply a discharge of all power from your computers motherboard, this fixs many usb issues and its had a very high success rate:)
simply turn of your computer, unplug all usb devices from it (IPOD), and now take the power cord (outlet source) out of the computer (pull it right out of the PSU), when the power cord is connected to your computer a small flow of electricity is flowing through it, by unplugging it no power is going through and this allows for all electricity to discharge reseting the usb posts (pulse jack style )
allow your computer to sit like that for at least 30 minutes,
then replug and start up, once logged in plug in the psp cross your fingers and hope for the best:)
