So I bought a cheap 4 port USB hub that is 2.0 compatible. I figured it is a simple plug and play procedure but WinXP Pro SP2 doesn't seem to recognize it.
I plug it into the USB port and get an error message: "USB Device Not Recognized, one of more USB devices has malfunctioned blah blah blah".
I try the other USB port (2 in total) and I get a different message saying this device works faster in 2.0 port but my laptop has two 2.0 compatible slots! I test it using a memory stick and it flashes with activity however when I try to open the contents, theres nothing in it.
I then test the hub in a different laptop which is running Windows Vista, and everything works fine.
I know theres nothing wrong with the ports on my laptop running WinXP Pro.
Anyone have a clue whats wrong?
