Unable to install drivers from Kodak EasyShare Dock and Canon Scanner

I hope someone can help me please....

Around the time of installing XP SP2 (last 5 days) onto XP Pro the USB
software to Kodak Easy Share and Canon CanoScan N1240U failed. I'm not sure
if SP2 was the source of the problem as my Kodak dock worked after
installing SP2 (albeit for a very short while!). All USB Host controllers
show up as working without conflicted.

I have remove the drivers (Both USB and Kodak/Canon), and reinstalled with a
clean system ie removed all start up programs and non-Microsoft Services.
Tried to installing the drivers in safe and normal mode. The scanner reports
that the toolbox software only works with Canon Scanner and to install the
correct Twain driver (which I have tried to do), The Kodak dock when the
share button to press does nothing apart from flash its lights. Nor can the
Kodak EasyShare software my Kodak camera.

I have also removed all my USB devices removed the drives from within Device
Manager and rebooting with no change. I've removed my USB2 card and rebooted
and installed (4 other USB 1.1 being board mounted, I've checked the driver
and they are current), no change. And cleaned out the registry to remove any
traces of the Kodak and Canon software before reinstalling.

Other USB devices work fine in the same ports, it world appear that windows
is just blocking both of these software drivers.

Can anyone help please, .or the next step will have to be a fresh install
onto a new hard drive.

If anyone can help, or offer guidance on what else I can do I would be very
grateful.

TIA
