Interestingly, if I reinstall windows and, prior to installing any extra hardware drivers, attempt to use the device it will connect just fine. That sort of confirms the theory in my case.

If going to a different port didn't help, try another computer. Otherwise, one option may be (and I haven't tested this myself), getting a usb hub with an external power source.

Best of luck and let me know if anything works out.
The other computers in the house have XP and windows 7. Not sure If that will matter. I just picked up a psp charger. It says it has a full battery but I have never charged it. And it was only plugged into my computer for a few mins before.
