USB troubles in Windows XP are a commonplace; so let's start with making sure the motherboard drivers are updated. I'm also assuming you have at least Service Pack 1 installed. Are you plugging the device into a rear port? What are the errors in Device Manager after you startup and before you re-plug your network card?
Here are two solutions you could try. Open up regedit, and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Usb. (If the key does not exist, create it.) Create a new DWORD DisableSelectiveSuspend with a value of 1. This should stop Windows suspending USB devices. Someone posted another solution on a different message board: try not only turning your computer off but also switch off at the mains. This will discharge any stray capacitance that could reside in your motherboard after you shut it down. How ya doing, buddy? |
