I have an acer aspire 5720 laptop. My USB ports don't work when I plug in certain USB devices, some devices work, but others don't, I know it is not the device that is the problem, as I can use them fine on other computers, and when I check if the device is working properly it says it is, I just can't access any of the files on it, I don't understand what the problem is, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Sounds like some of the ports on the motherboard are starting to go bad.
You can try doing a system restore back to a date when they were working all properly.
If not you might want to save the important information off of the hard drive and wipe it out and reinstall the OS and the drivers. If on a fresh install the usb ports are still not working properly then you know the motherboard is faulty.

Rashidbb, I would find the drivers first, (this may be difficult), and have them ready to install before downgrading to XP. This way you wont have to look around for drivers on a machine that doesnt function 100%

if you need drivers, you can download it from www.acerpanam.com.
for recovery cd, i don't think acer have it online, you need to order it from them.
FYI, if you haven't delete the partition in your hdd, you can use alt+f10 to re-install your Operating system and after that, you can create your own recovery cd.

try reinstalling the driver using the CD that u got along with it.. or go to http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_5720.html to download the driver. It should work after reinstalling..
