I have a USB mass storage device and a digital camera (with usb plug) that
doesn't get detected on my Windows XP Pro computer when i plug and play.
Both devices says no driver necessary for XP computers and even when I did
install the drivers, nothing changed and computer still couldn't detect. I
have installed all the latest USB drivers for SP1. (Both of these devices
work on my brother's XP pro computer plug and play). So I was wondering if
there's any registry that i need to modify.

p.s. if this is any help, this computer is custom made (by me) with asus
mobo P4P800 and intel pentinum 4.

p.p.s. the devices work only when i have them plug into the slot before I
turn on the computer.

thx ahead for any1 that can give help.
