XP gets "confused" if you plug unplug and then plug again different hardware into the usb ports , in one session (i.e. before a hardware boot ) . Finalyy your devices don't "work" . One of the remedies is to disable your usb ports in the bios setup. Boot XP , delete the usb entries in the hardware control panel , then enable the usb bios settings and let it redefine ( install the drivers and configurations ) again . And one more thing : Try to use the same device on the same port .
