I've just purchased a 4 Port USB hub cause I got fed up having to keep swap peripherals between the 2 USB ports I have on my PC. I plugged the USB hub into one of the USB ports on the front of my PC but when I switched the PC on it wouldn't boot up. So I unplugged the USB hub, switched the PC on and it booted up fine. Does anyone know why this is - why the PC won't boot with the USB hub plugged in?
Just to give you some background info, I'm running Windows XP Pro on a HP Pavilion 9720 PC. The ports at the front of the PC are I believe version 1.1, whereas the USB hub is version 2.0. I'm gonna guess that there's some sort of issue here with the USB port versions!!?? If this is the case, is there anything I can do to resolve the problem?
