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.

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:
