Around in a big circle we go...
I'm thinking about a repair install on XP. Couldn't hurt. At least that
should rule out the OS. It'll just take a gawdawful long time with all the
fixes and service packs and all. Though probably less time than I've spent
already.
From: Big E on
Well… The following is everything I can dig up on the NEC PCI USB card. The
same occurs for the onboard SiS USB. I'm no code writer so I can't tell if
everything matches in detail. If anyone sees anything goofy, please let me
know. Meanwhile I'll do a repair reinstall on XP so I might be “offline” for
a day or two while it collects all the updates.

I have a suitably decrepid USB card from my junk pile, to test
by inserting in my new computer. This is from the tail end of setupapi.log.

Your OS doesn't seem to be searching in the same way, for a match.
On mine, "something" got launched by the services.exe line, but
what exactly, I don't know. All I can say is, as a result of scanning
the INF files in the inf folder, a match was found. I'm going to
try a reboot now, and see what happens during the next boot.
If anything interesting happens, I'll post back.

Had another look in the C:\Windows\inf folder, and the last thing
to change in there, is the date on INFCACHE.1. Mine is 1422KB
in size. There is a reference to INFCACHE in this page.

http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtrouble_e.html

There is a whole bunch of this process I don't understand,
so I'll leave it there for now.

Hello Big E,

Try going to your motherboard manufacturer's website and locate and download
the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard. They should include the
latest drivers for your usb port connections.

If that doesn't work, consider that your power supply might be losing some
of its power. You can obtain a power supply tester for $19.95 plus tax at
Office Depot or other outlet that sells computer parts.

I would try these steps before reinstalling your OS.

I hope this helps, and good luck.

Peace,
