Please try to stay in one thread, RL. Also, you should state your Windows version. I'm assuming that it's 98/ME.

Let me say right off that there's no better USB controller that the Intel AB/EB. It's dead reliable.

Your system looks quite healthy. Are you using any other USB devices? If so, is the new all-in-one on a hub? If so, move it to a PC port. It won't work well on a hub.

I do know that HP hardware has to be installed *exactly according to instructions*. Did you do that?

Let's try something. Restart the PC and press F8 repeatedly while it's coming up. You will get a menu. Select Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, open Device Manager. Go through each category and remove all duplicate (every one - don't leave any) and all devices that you know are gone. Remove the USB Root hub and the USB Host Controller *in that order*. Unplug all USB devices before you restart. If you installed the HP software, uninstall it here in Safe Mode.

Now restart and follow HP's instructions to the letter.

Write back now!
