Dell Dimension 4600

Very odd when I plug Mp3s into the USB., sometimes It recognizes it and sometime not..There are two ports its very inconsistant.

Is there anything I can do or what might be wrong? I dont think its the cables going to devices...USB "stick" type devices appear to be better???

I do get this sometimes, and I think it has got something to do with Windows itself, may be the default usb driver does not initialize properly

Yes, a faulty or unstable USB Host controller driver can cause the ports to act weird, I only saw a machine with same problem few weeks ago, try removing the USB ccontrollers and then restart for it to detect again.
