Everything was fine with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L670, and suddenly I received a message something like "USB hub power exceeded…" and I clicked something (I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention). Now I can't use USB sticks, but can use a USB mouse though. In Device Manager in Properties section of "USB Mass Storage Device" the item says
This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
I tried restarting the laptop, and nothing happened. I tried to uninstall this driver and ran "Check for hardware updates", system "finds" new "USB Mass Storage Device" driver, but it failed to install.
How do I fix this problem?

It could be a hardware problem. If you are familiar with Linux live CDs, you could use one to test if your USB storage devices work in Linux. If they don't, you will be pretty sure it is indeed a hardware problem, and it is time to check with your manufacturer.
