tried another PC & new cable negative no go. markallanwolfe.com

Well I was trying to launch line 6 monkey the other day and after having the POD XT Pro work flawlessly over the time since I bought several years ago, for some reason the USB decided not to be recognized. I have followed every thing you are supposed to do,(i.e, unplugged it, different usb port, NOT in a USB HUB). I am able to connect the unit via MIDI but not USB. I tried to do a WINDOWS 7 System restore but I cannot undo what ever happened. When I look in Device manager I see a flag next to a UNKNOWN DEVICE When I click properties of that file I see with in the item description window , Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) I have tried updating the usb drivers and every time I cannot When Monkey starts it scans for USB & MIDI it sees my VARIAZ USB that is connected but not on. ( JTV ) I see the PODXT PRO midi turned on and connected but where once was a USB connected device is not. I have tried everything I know how to do and I am sad to think that this unit perhaps has seen better days. PLEASE HELP!!

Ok so first I need to say I love this guitar,but I am starting to get bad taste in my mouth. MY JTV59 was working fine, I was learning on how to use in studio environment. I had a message come on lin6 monkey tell me updates were available and also was having trouble with JAVA and so forth. So I updated JAVA software directly from their site. Tells me I need to remove old versions and that in doing so might have trouble with certain programs and all that. I download from LINE6 the appropiate updates for my gear and now when I try to connect my variax workbench into my guitar it either is dead or very spotty, garbled. If I push the button to turn it off it will go back to standard electric but when you press the buttone, KNOB or what ever to turn it on it does not work. I have updated my PC before I have new chords , it was working fine before I installed new vx workbench HD. 2nd) problem is on the original variax work bench software you can save and back up alt tunings, but on the new HD version you can only save unless I am missing something you cannot LOAD previous tunings. Which is a drag for I save many to work with and now I am out of the water. I make music for a living and need my gear to work. Not totally freaking out for I know it will be resolved. Does anyone have any other issues and is this common? I have had many problems thru out my career and been able to figure most stuff out but this boggles me? If I figure it out I will let you all know. Please help someone show me the way as peter frampton once said :) I am working in Sonar X2 Producer edition 64 bit and 32 PC Windows 7 Pentium Mark Allan Wolfe www.markallanwolfe.com
