OK, all you Mac fans can just skip this and go, smugly, on your way.....

My home desktop running XP can't find a bunch of stuff that is installed.
Can't find drive E an internal CD/DVD
Can't find drive J and external DVD on USB connection
Can't find the printer,also a USB device,
All of these were OK until a few weeks ago.
The keyboard is also a USB, but its OK.

When I run the device manager, I see yellow icons next to the drives E and J. The computer says that the correct drivers are installed, but it can't find the devices.
I have done several restarts with no improvement.

Any ideas, or is it time for professional help?
