I have an issue that only XPSP1 will apparently fix, however, due to the performance implications of installing said service pack, I am hesitant to do so.

Anyway, the issue is this:

Any USB device that is not plugged into my machine at boot-time will not be detected by the OS. This has only started occurring since XP Professional was loaded on the machine. The USBs are 2.0 and XP Pro is loaded on a 2.3 GHz Toshiba Satellite (originally had XP Home.)

My question is this...has anyone else had this problem? If so, what is the solution (other than SP1?)

If ther eisnt a solution, does anyone know when SP2 will be released?

Thanks!
