Would like to be able to help but need more information. What is your CPU, how much RAM are you running? Do you have Ethernet? is the broadband modem ethernet compatible? If yes to these two then try ethernet. Have not heard of USB pushing to much power.? The minimum reccomendations for XP are; 350Mhz CPU, 128Mb RAM.

My first recommendation would be to do the Windows Updates. Some USB problems were addressed in the service pack.
