Can you tell exactly which USB devices are giving you trouble, and what exact errors or symptoms you get when trying these devices?

Also tell us which version of Windows you're using, including Service Packs.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

I am using Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600) and basicly i am having problems with usb flash memory devices, and usb card readers. The problem is that when i plug them in it takes ages to recognise them and some times it doesnt.

Are all your Windows updates installed? Is that a USB 2.0 port on your system? Is the Flash memory device USB 2.0? Does the Flash memory device work on a different system?

These things can be a bit erratic, I'm afraid. See this discussion, and the reader comments:
