Ahhh Win XP and USBs...my XP crashed with pretty much any USB device constantly esp my K750 , tore my hair out. I reinstalled everything so many times trying to fix it!
Local ISP said USB and pentium 4 hyperthreading just a complete mess together so I have turned hyperthreading off (in BIOS from memory) and it is much better (with media player and other programmes too)
I would try turning off hyperthreading (if you have it) and see if it helps.
Now use a Mac most of the time and such hideous stability issues are a thing of the past.. |

I've worked on hundreds of P4 systems and rarely had a problem with USB ports related to hyperthreading. I have however seen many blown usb ports that cause computer reboots when devices are plugged in. The USB rail is very sensitive. When one rail blows, usually the ports on other rails are okay, so try using different ports if you haven't already.
And before you start casting unfounded aspersions on Intel, would it be too much to ask you to NOT blame EVERY COMPUTER PROBLEM someone has on some sort of Microsoft/Intel conspiracy to provide inferior computers? It's actually Microsoft code that causes the Hyperthreading problem (not the P4), and in fairness the code was implemented before Hyperthreading CPU's were in use. MS will fix the problem in due course.
Infact, if it were a hardware issue, then the intel mac would suffer the same fate.

why am I not suprised? releasing an non-stable updateservice towards servicepoints is one thing but to release it to there customers as well... hmmm...  have had a bit of rush here I think... |

Settle down mate. Disabling hyperthreading solved the problem for me, so I offered my experience to this forum in response to a problem someone was having.
My IT provider described numerous problems with USBs and P4s so was pleased I wasn't the only one. I don't believe any conspiracy theories , and I think Intel make excellent products.

Well, then why bother with the above statement? Mac have less compatibility issues true; they have more control over the entire manufacture process.
But "hideous stability issues" are also a thing of the past for the wintel platform. As with most MAC users, you assume because of your own bad experience with wintel that any problems must be endemic. You also assume that MAC is somehow perfect and never crashes and never has issue with hardware incompatibility.
You offer a solution to the problem (turn off ht), a perfectly viable solution in 90% of cases, and then proceed to claim that the wintel platform is beset with stability issues. It's simply not true (it was once but the platform has matured). So if people decide to sprout inaccuracies I will correct them. Arrogant? Yes. Flame? No, just information presented with an undercurrent of frustration with the continual spreading of faulty claims about wintel.
It seems that it's perfectly okay (in fact trendy) to love the MAC platform to a fault, and to slander Wintel everytime someone mentions a problem with their PC, but those who prefer Windows XP/Intel don't seem to be entitled to have the same feeling about their own preferred platform.
So I'm sorry if I over-reacted to your claims, but maybe just maybe you jumped on the anti-wintel band wagon without really thinking it through.
