USB1.1 flashdisk probs with USB2 box

Locked

I have a user attempting to use a USB 1.1 flash disk on two Windows XP machines that are USB2 ready. It works fine on one machine but on the other will only load if plugged in before boot up (if plugged in after boot up it will not read although it says all drivers are correct and the device is working fine – hence any troubleshoot will not work). The Device is called Agenie Pro made by Adata and whilst a disk comes with Win98 drivers – nothing appears available for this variable XP situation. Any hints?

go to Start > right click My Computer > select Properties > click Hardware > click Device Manager > go down to Universal Serial Bus controllers > click + (plus sign) to open > right click the USB 2 controller > select Disable > click Yes . Now when you insert the flash disk the USB 1 controller should be the one to recognize it.
