USB/Flash card reader on a dell 2405fpw causing serious problems. why?

Question

I have a dell 2405fpw but every time i plug the USB hub into one of my two computers I have problems. On my old dell dimension 8250 if i plug it in it destroys my TV reception from my digital tv card. On my new computer if i plug it in, my computer won't boot. The computer will get to the windows xp screen with the scrolling bar but the stops and nothing happens. If i hit reset it gets to the screen saying your computer failed to start last boot what do you want to do. If i say boot normally it actually boots but all the drivers for my other usb devices crash like my mouse driver. Does this sound like my monitor has a faulty usb hub or are other people having similar problems.

This may be a simplistic answer but... Have you installed the drivers for that monitor? If not, download them (they can be found with the other downloads for the Dimension 8400 and other computers). Execute the file, and follow the directions that open in the text file. If you have already loaded the drivers, I'm not sure what is causing your issues.

I also don't know if the drivers have anything to do with the card readers. Seems to me that the card readers would need some type of driver....

I had the same problem with another Dell monitor. You have to unplug anything that's USB and could be considered a "removable hard disk". It thinks that these are hard drives and can't figure out what to do. I had an Intel Pocket Concert player plugged in and had a hard time figuring it out.
