Generic USB on Windows Vista Home Basic

Windows Vista Home Basic
5 port USB 2.0
Compaq Presario F500 Laptop

Have recently purchased a 4 port usb and I have noticed that It works for a
while then stops working, it seems to disconect or enter a power save state
and I have to disconect it to start it again.

Have tested other devices on the port and they work. As far as I can tell I
have power going through the device but they seem to turn off.

Any Ideas

It is possible that you are trying to draw too much power through the hub
because of the devices you have connected to it. You might consider
replacing it with a self powered hub.

Yeah... is the hub self-powered, as in does it have its own power
supply?

If not, you screwed up and bought the wrong kind of hub. You are no
doubt overloading your USB power. A self-powered hub wouldn't do
that.
