Hey Microsft's people...

I'm running Windows XP SP2, and I have all current updates from Microsoft
Update available on my computer. The problem is, my computer does not
recognize any camera connected to it. I've connected a Canon PowerShot
A430,
a BenQ DC E40, and a Kodak EasyShare CX4210. However, everytime I connect
these cameras, a yellow dialogue appears from the system tray saying that
the
USB device cannot be recognized by Windows. I've installed all drivers
and
software given by the camera's manufacturers. I've even did e clean
install
of windows Xp, and even formatted and reinstalled my Windows XP, but
still it
didn't work out. Any hints, guys?

TIA,

Firqin

This can be lack of DC power or a bad cable.
Try to get a *powered* USB 2.0 hub. Note that all your devices that are
working, are either self powered, or low power (USB stick).
A camera can consume much more than USB stick.
