USB troubleshooting

[Guest]

Hello.

I've tried finding the solution to this problem, but nothing I've tried has
worked. I've had a Minolta DiMAGE 323 digital camera for about a year now and
there have never been problems like this before. I transfer my pictures
through a USB cable and that's what's strange, because every article on USB
I've read talks about VIDEO streams. Yes, I can record videos (without sound)
on my camera and transfer them to my computer, but I transfer my images the
same way, too. Windows XP has never identified my camera; for some reason
it's not on the list and the CDs I got with it don't provide any information.
But since day one I've simply connected the computer and the camera with the
USB cable and the image wizard or whatever has popped up. Awhile ago it
decided it didn't want to show up every time, but I figured out a way to get
my photos anyway - through My Computer. But now I've started getting an error
message saying "USB controller bandwidth exceeded". I've read a few articles
(like this one:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;884470), but nothing
I've tried to do has helped. I removed all USB controllers and restarted my
computer, but all of them were automatically installed again. And for some
reason I have FOUR! (Three "Intel 82801DB/DBM USB universal host
controllers" and one "Intel 82801DB/DBM USB 2.0 enchanced host controller".)
Plus four USB Root Hubs. My digital camera is the only USB device on my
computer, as far as I know and there are only two places I can stick a USB
cable in. I've tried both and got the same error message. I don't know what
else I can do. Ideas?

Any possible solutions will be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance.

It won't be of any help to you, but I have the same sort of problem. I have
Three USB controllers since I uninstalled my two controllers and restarted
the computer. I also have Two Mice... And my computer doesn't find my camera
(Nikon D70) either, and the camera doesnt find the computer. The USB port is
apparently working (I checked by plugging in all kinds of other stuff, like
scanner, Palmtop). But when switch the mouse from one port to another it's as
dead as the cameraconnection. Must be a softwareproblem, but which one...
Windows XP

I have no clue what to do next. Would be really grateful for an answer.

Do you use RealPlayer 10 ?
