Whenever i plug in a USB device into my comp ie USB memory stick, ipod it knocks out my mouse and keyboard and i get an error message saying "a USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognise it"

I can take the USB stick back out and and replug in my mouse/keyboard and everything kicks in again working normally

As you can imagine this is a real pain in the arse as i cant charge our ipods or use my USB stick :/

Running XP pro fully up to date, no problems anywhere else apart from this grief

Help me pleash :o
 
Yes its all the USB ports front and back :/

ipod and the USB stick work fine in other pc's ive got a laptop and everythings AOK

LoL, great aint it? :o

Let me know which ones i can get rid of then :)
 
Did what you said and went for the safe option :o

Still the same plugged in the mem stick and bang mouse and keyboard went again :/

Gave it a reboot after i deleted them dunno if that helps :confused:
 
Strange i can plug my Bluetooth adaptor in and windows picks it up and installs everything :/

Im going to bed ill kick the **** out of it in the morning, cheers for your help chaosophy :)
 
Ive got some PS2 adaptors i might try plugging the mouse/kb in with those then try it

Seems it may be a power issue but im running a 650 watt PSU so it shouldnt be that

Thanks again anyway :)
 
I can charge them through my lappy, its a pain in the arse cuz all mine and the Mrs's itunes stuff is all on my main pc
