I have an ASUS mother with an external USB expansion, W2K Pro. I
connected a GENIUS Camera (Driving program installed first, then
camera). It worked fine for a while, then on boot up the "New device
Found" wizard started appearing. If I let it finish his routine, the
camera appears disabled. If I cancel it, the camera works only for MSN
MESSENGER, but not the other programs, including the GENIUS soft. If I
boot WITHOUT CONNECTING the camera and connect it later, it recognizes
it fine (NO "new Hard.." message) and everything works. After this,
sometimes it boots fine for several rounds and then the wizard appears
again and all over. I deleted the USB devices on safe mode and let the
computer rebuild it, previously de-intalling the Genius soft, and later
installing it. No good. Any clues?

Try the camera on another port. If you have another port that is from
another USB host controller, this would be best. Another test is to try the
camera on a USB hub. What I am getting at, is that there may be a fault with
the voltage supply from the port, or there may be a shared IRQ problem.
