when i try plugging my mp3 player/camera/anything eles that does not stay plugged in i get this error usb device not recognized One of the usb device connected to this computer has malfunctioned,and windows does not recognize it.For assistance in solving this problem click this message,when i click the message it says Unknown device.Try reconnecting the device.if windows still does not recognize the device replace it.So I got a new mp3 player and still have the same problem,i installed it correctly.Everything that stays connected such as my printer/webcam exc. works,only devices that i do not leave connected do not work, I'm sure if i unplug them and try plugging them in again they probly wont work either.I went to device manager it shows no problem,I tryed leaving the device in and restarting the computer still does not work.I uninstalled ther device using device manager still nothing,my mp3 player showing that its charging and it worked 1 time yesterday,I have read and tryed many differnt solutions seeing there are many people having this trouble are have had this trouble but none seem to work for me,being the ports that stay plugged in work I have no idea whats can be the problem any help would be apprieciated and I know your time is precious and I am thankfull for you looking over this tread and giving it a try,thank you!

they probably are having a IRQ conflict or you may just have to many usb devices connected...
do you have a usb hub connected by chance or a reader for flash cards (SD, CF )

now try leaving the printer connected (the usb) but turn its power off ...the mp3 disconnected ...
boot up and plug in the mp3 player...does it work...if yes
use the safely remove icon in the system tray and remove the mp3...now power up the printer...test it...if it works OK plug in the mp3 player
