One more thing, the reason I am suggesting checking your power supply is
that usb devices require a certain amount of amps per device.

If your power supply is not giving enough amps to cover all of your onboard
and add-on devices with enough to cover your usb devices, then your usb run
peripherals will only run if they don't require more than is available.

In worst case situations which I don't see in your posts, your computer
could start shutting itself down when you try to plug in any usb device that
requires more power than is available to the system.

Again, I hope this helps. Good luck.

Paul, Jeffery and all...
Finally fixed it. Been a wicked couple days with this old beast. Power
supply checks out fine - it had gotten new caps when I did the motherboard
regulator for the CPU. about a year and a half ago - all still good. Voltages
w/i spec, available current aplenty.

After trying everything in the posts, I attempted a repair install with a
slipstreamed SP3 disc. On the restart, just as it would get to the black
Windows bootup screen, there would be a flash of BSOD and then reboot over
and over. Tried it again with the original disk with SP1. Same thing. Did a
fresh complete install from the SP3 disk and voila, I have more operational
USB ports than you can shake a stick at, both the onboard SiS and the NEC
card. The PCI bus is back. Something way down in the grizzled innards of XP
was amiss. Wish I could have found it so I didn't have to reload all the
software. On the upside, I've got a spanking clean registry with no junk in
it.

Thanks for all your help.
