USB Hang

When I have any USB device connected to the secondary USB
ports, XP hangs on startup after the XP splash screen
closes. If I plug a device in after XP boots, XP freezes
instantly. If I disable USB in BIOS, boot the computer,
reboot, than re-enable USB in BIOS, the system functions
correctly until it is restarted. (Legacy USB is off) All
latest service packs & patches are installed. MSI 845GE
Max mobo, P4 2.56 cpu, 512mb sdram

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you, but this sounds similar to my problem ("USB 2.0 devices cause system to lock up"). Someone suggested that I might have an inadequate power supply - I've tried disconnected devices to reduce power usage but to no avail. Have you had any luck yet?

Windows does not alter the BIOS. The BIOS is firmware on
the mobo.
