A little more background...
I am using XP Pro. The same install of XP Pro, on the same motherboard, that I've been using for 6 months, with mixed results. This is not the first time I've had USB issues. Actually, I had a Belkin hub that died, and I had been blaming it for my woes, but I just replaced that, and it's the same old bullshit.
"What changed with your setup?", I hear you ask.
I installed a new HEATSINK. For the northbridge.
Boy, I shoulda known better than to ask for trouble like that.
Anyway, as it stands, I'm boned. Thanks for the link, smooth...hopefully someone there knows what to do.
