Default Windows ME not assigning a letter to a removable USB disk

Hope somebody can help. I have two removable USB mass storage devices
installed, one is my Fuji digital camera and one is an Oracom MP3 player.
They have both worked perfectly well until recently. Unfortunately I cannot
identify exactly when they stopped working correctly. When I connect either
of these items, via USB, they are not assigned a letter. If I look in My
Computer they do not exist. They do exist under Device Manager. If, under
Device Manager, I manually assign a letter when the computer restarts to
accept the changes, the manually assigned letters are active and the devices
are visible under My Computer. Unfortunately, it only appears temporary as
when I reboot my computer and re-connect the USB devices they, again, are
not assigned a letter. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the
software, including drivers, associated with both the camera and the MP3
player, with no effect.
