Adding Usb Hub

Hi, I added a 2.0 USB hub and ran into problems. I lost the two USB ports in front of my computer and the media reader. When I disconnect the hub, everything comes back. How do I add the hub so I don't have the same problem. Thanks

pacib85,

What port are you plugging the hub into?

Hi Chris,

    I am adding the hub to a usb port in the rear of my computer. I have a XPS 400 running Xin XP. The hub is a 7 port 2.0 usb Hub. Again, when I connect it I lose the two ports in front and I lose my media reader. Thanks

pacib85,

Test it on all of the rear USB ports.

Just another thought, if you have a free slot inside the PC you can get a card that has four USB connectors and three Firewire connectors. Very inexpensive too.

Again, thanks for the solution. I reconnected the Hub to another port and everything works fine for now. Thanks for the help to all
