USB detection sooooo slow

[Newbie]

Hi All

Wonder if you could help.

Have a brand new Fujitsu Siemens WinXP Pro SP2 laptop that seemed to be
completely fine, but when I plug a USB device in it seems to take it an age
to recognise the device.

I work for a school and I plugged what they call a Digital Blue Movie
Creator USB device into the USB port (tried all of them with same results)
and even though the yellow balloons come up it takes it a good 15 mins to
complete(ish) the process. I think the OS actually gives up because it
doesn't complete the found driver process.

Put my USB mem stick in, this was recognised and OK to use, but it took it
15 mins to reg this as well.

Any ideas why?

Any ideas on how I can get it running back up as normal without a full
re-install?

Note: ran it for viruses, cleaned them out thoroughly (there were about 10
files infected with a trojan), gone back to system restore of when it should
have been OK (no viruses in system restore).
