EDIT: I have 1 usb printer plugged in and here's what comes up.

This happens regardless of what I put in.

Let's try this to start, it clears out all the USB device parameters in the registry and allows Windows to rebuild

them.

Create a file with NOTEPAD containing the following lines and save it as FIX.REG
-------------------------- cut after this line --------------------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]

"DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES"="1"
-------------------------- cut before this line --------------------------------

Double click on FIX.REG and say yes to the Merge Into Registry question.

Unplug ALL USB devices.
Open Device Manager.
View, Show Hidden Devices.
Uninstall all devices under USB Controllers.
Uninstall all devices under Disk Drives that you know are not present.
Uninstall all devices under Storage Volumes. Say no to any reboot prompts until you are finished. Also, if a

Storage Volume doesn't uninstall, ignore it and move to the next one.
If you have a yellow ? with unknown devices, uninstall all of the entries there as well.

When this is done, reboot TWICE.

Reconnect the USB devices and see if they're recognized properly.

it may jut be a IRQ conflict..but it can't hurt to try a different driver...try the computer manufactures driver first...
nojoy
try the video manufactures driver
still no joy
you will have to try setting the IRQ's manually...

Not really, it means I have to get a new motherboard or go in the BIOS again later.
