USB Problems??

My phone has been working fine, up till last night. All of a sudden when I plug it into USB I get an error that there was a device malfunction. In dev man there's a Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume that windows says cannot start properly, and a unknown device under USB.

I've system restored, I've power drained, I've tried on 3 pc's. Same thing. All pc's are running windows 7 64 bit.

Any ideas?
 
I had a problem where (all of a sudden) the PC just would not see the Captivate... no reaction at all when you plugged in the cable! I un-installed / re-installed the drivers... uninstalled Kies (don't waste your time with this app)... changed the USB drivers... nothing. I even restored my PC to when I know it was working... still nothing. After all of this, it dawned on me (OK... I'm an idiot) to re-start the Captivate (turn it off, then turn it on). Guess what... So, just in case you haven't done this...
 
Im having USB problems as well with Windows 7 32bit. It either wont react, device malfunction, or connect if im lucky. Usually reinstalling the drivers have helped but its usually short lived.
 
Yeah, I've reinstalled drivers every which way. I'm convinced it's the phone or the cable because it happens on 3 different computers, two of which have never been connected before.

I recently setup Clockworks ROM backup and I'm wondering if that had something to do with it.
 
Anyone else have any clues? I'm really stuck here, I Can't get my pc to see it therefor can't even reflash to stock??
 
I can't get my Win7 64bit to see the phone, at all....I plug it in, it says usb connected on the phone, but I never see anything on my computer.
 
No problems.
Pretty much given up on my issue. Gonna try at work tomorrow. If that's no good ill take it to the art store.
