So my USB flash devices aren't working My USB camera, printer, keyboard, mouse work fine. When try to sync my iphone, however, it tells me after a few minutes that "the device has timed out". Similarly, with my USB flash drive, i can copy/paste files for a couple minutes, until the computer can no longer detect the USB drive, and tells me that the "parameter is incorrect" for the file i'm copying. I've tried -updating my drivers -uninstalling my USB drivers, then allowing them to reinstall -ensuring that the will not be turned off to save power For some reason, i can't connect to windows update. I have about 6 gigs of media that i'd like to save on this computer so reformat is out of the question My computer is running XP Pro SP2 intel 915g motherboard 2 gigs of ram Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry, I can't help with the problem. But backing up your 6gb of media before something happens and you lose it might be a good idea.

You may need to plug into a different USB port, or your power supply may be starting to fail, or you may have an IRQ sharing problem. See response 3 in this: http://www.computing.net/answers/wi...
