iPod nano Problem

Hey all, I have a problem with my Nano which is making me want to pull my damn hair out!

The thing is, I've never had a problem with my nano until I plugged it into my computer yesterday. Nothing was recognising it [Software updater, iTunes] so I decided to uninstall iTunes and the iPod updater and fire in the disc that came with the nano. I left it for about an hour to format only to recieve a message saying "Error Communicating with iPod" or something of the like. It works on my upstairs comp so ... obviously it's something to do with this machine.

I'm running windows Xp SP2. If anyone can help with this - please do:)

Thanks

Tried a new USB/Firewire port?

Yeah, tried three different USB ports. :(

Thanks for the link, nothing there works for me though. Tried resetting my ipod which didnt work [which i expected as it works on my upstairs comp, I've tried different USBs, reinstalled/restarted about 189 times, and the ipod updater doesnt find the ipod, ust tells me to plug one in to updae.

Its really annoying me as I didnt have problems before? Is there any driver problems or something? Obviously it is something to do with my machine as it works upstairs.

$100 to anyone who can help lol :P

[Of course, in I.O.U form :P]

have you tried other USB hardware? If you use a USB PCI card maybe it's broken

yeah, I tried my webcam in every other usb port I have, worked in all of them. And ive tried my nano in all of them and still nothing...

:(

Maybe try getting the latest drivers for your USB card (or onboard USB, whatever you have).

I dunno what kind of card, the mobo has a SIS chipset... its a gigabyte GA-8SIML (Rev 2.0) mobo.

have you tried deleting all the usb shit from device manage, maybe something is corrupt, and it will auto reinstall itself upon reboot.

when you first got your ipod did you format it using the upstairs comp?
