Thank you for your reply.
Internal drive
I am sorry that I didn't point out that it is a 160 GB drive as is my other
drive that was on the machine when I got it and DOES not have the same
problem.
Also, please note, as I stated in my post, that the problem also occurs when
I plug in my USB camera.
Also, please note, as I stated in my post, that I have "WIN XP HOME, fully
upgraded, updated and patched". I just assumed you would understand that I
meant that SP1 is installed.
Thanks,
Dave
