I have 3 different removable USB Storage devices that I use. One of them is a memory stick I use alternately between my computer and my PS2, one of them is an MP3 player that I fill with music that I create, and the final one is a Polariod Digital Camera.

After plugging in the Polaroid Digital Camera, none of my storage devices have worked since. My sister plugged it in before installation, so I pulled it out, installed it, and plugged it in. There was no extra drive created or anything. We retried 3 times, uninstalling the camera and restarting the computer each time, and then I gave up on it. A few days later, I was trying to put a song on my MP3 player, and as I plugged it in to the USB slot, the computer printed a row of dots on the very top of the screen and froze. When restarting the computer, Windows wouldn't start up with the MP3 player still attached.

At this point I thought there was a problem with the USB slots, so I got one of my girls to cam with me, and it worked fine. Then I tried the PS2 memory stick, which I rarely have use for anymore, and the computer froze when I inserted it.

So somehow, my computer freezes when trying to access a removable disk drive. Any suggestions?

I only have two USB ports, and the USB Storage Devices don't work on either.
