Actually, I'm not sure myself how to change IRQ settings
since all I had to do was disable the offending driver.
I do know that typing "regedit" in the Run command line
(off of the Start button) will get you the registry editor
(where that sort of thing is done)
but after that my knowledge is a bit foggy, and I am
no longer competent to offer advice :-}
There should, to my knowledge, only be one USB controller
 for all the USB ports, but then I've only ever had the
standard two in the back.
