Code 28 - digital cameras & flash drives

Hi

I am running (normally succesfully) XP Pro Sp1 with a Belkin USB hub with various bits on it. All are working ok except when I try to attach either of two Olympus digital cameras, or a USB flash drive. On these occasions I get the standard installation window coming up which then gives me the Code 28 message - Drivers for this device are not installed

All other USB devices work OK and the cameras and flash drives work perfectly in every other computer I have tried (about 8 so far). The difference is that both the cameras & flash drives are seen as "Removable Disks" and it is ONLY that type of item that seems to be causing a problem.I have checked all updates etc from Microsoft, Olympus, VIA Technologies etc but to no effect

Can anyone help please

Thanks
 
Try connecting them directly to the computer as opposed to through the USB
hub and see if you still have the problem. If no, the new system and the
devices are having a problem communicating through the hub. Some items
don't work as well through a hub, some not at all. The problem is not
necessarily the hub either, some devices can be a bit picky and depending
upon the setup won't work through the hub and that's even if you've had
success with that configuration on other setups.
