Win XP usb device malfunction messages

[3D]

I have just spent 3 days updating my missus's machine to XP she has a plotter

she uses's for her busines worked fine on an old 2000 machine.

 

I am getting errors on all usb ports saying the the device has malfunctioned

and then the usb ports sleep and don't recognise it plug and play.

I have added a registry entry to DisableSelectiveSuspend Blah Blah Blah

 

I fooking hate computers I know it's a long shot but any ideas, the hardware is fine

as it works on my shiny new dual Xeon machine but I can't run the plotter on there

for logistical reasons. I've had it working on the culprit machine as well just when

you restart it gives the shitty message.

 

The drivers are FTDI usb>serial drivers by the way.

 

I also tried reinstalling XP and reinstalling the usb cards and usb drivers all kinds of

shit.

 

 

Much appreciated

Encase you dont get an answer

i don't know my self... i have found this site helpful:

 

http://thevistaforums.com/ (i know it says vista but theres a category for each operating system and its Microsoft run and free to register. so if they cant fix their own OS problem :/ no idea where to turn after that.
