[RESOLVED] USB Hub Crashes WinXP

[billboy]

I have the strangest problem. I did a fresh install of Windows XP installed all services packs and updates, machine seems to run great. However when I plug in my Dynex4 port USB hub the system immediately crashes, even with nothing plugged into the hub not even the power adapter, almost like there was a short circuit.

If I plug directly into my usb ports on machine all is fine

The hub works fine on several other Win XP machines

Anyone have any idea what can be going wrong.

Thanks in advance

I will never buy another dynex hub. When i had mine (i recently threw it away), it was a drive bay hub that hooked into a molex connector. The problem was if it was hooked up, the computer woudn't boot, and if i connected it after windows was loaded, bsod. It worked fine as a passive hub, but it was part of a media front-end, and was poorly designed. It had a firewire port, mic, and headphones, but it worked by giving pass-thru wires to the back of the case. In other words if it worked, you didn't have speakers in the back.

No problem with the hub, I found a fix at Microsoft MrFixit. although its labeled unable to see ipod and other type devices its a registry edit and it fixed my problem

Now i just have to get my system to recognize my WD My Book
