My USB drive icons have dissapeared!

After uninstalling flyakiteOSX v3.5 from my PC my usb card reader icons and the usb mass storage device icon have disspeared! I did the power off trick but it hasn't worked... My Xp has SP2 installed, I guess this shouldn't be the problem... Can somebody please help me as to how to bring those icons appear again... If ur thinking there's some problem with my usb devices there isn't as when I take it out and plug it again my pc recognizes it but it just doesn't show the icon...

Are these icons on the desktop? If so, it's just a shortcut. You can then go into "my computer" and create a shortcut for the USB devices.

first try: different port of USB

Secondly: right click on MY Computer/Manage/select device Manager/ on your right windows box, click Disk drives to see whether it's there
