   There must be but it may not be anything you plugged in. Today for   
   instance Windows told me New hardware found and couldn't install it?. So   
   off I went into the Control panel/system/hardware to have a look. Sure   
   enough one thing marked, unknown. As I had discovered just before that   
   my wi-fi mouse didn't work (I plugged in another one to work with) it   
   had to be that. Quite why it suddenly decided it was new harware (the   
   receiver in fact) I've no idea. I pulled out the receiver (small like a   
   USB key) put in back in and everything was fine.   
      
   This to say that Windows screws itself up occasionally so I suggest you   
   go and look at the list of hardware vie the control panel and delete   
   anything you see with a yellow exclamation mark then reboot to see if   
   the problem is solved. While you're there you might like to click on   
   the menu and get it to show hidden stuff (things that have been   
   installed/plugged in but are no longer there), in case it is one of   
   them,   
   such as your USB boxes that you've been having trouble with.
