i have a 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub that i use to network printers and for some reason when i boot my computer up it freezes before loading the windows splash page and will remain frozen until i remove the usb cord then windows all the sudden continues to boot up and works like it should.
I can then plug the usb back in and use the hub. what would cause something like this? i have never had the problem before this just started 2 days ago. i have windows xp with service pack 2. please help me!!!!
