USB Hub Power Exceeded

[Tim]

Hi, i received an error on my laptop with this error:

USB Hub Power Exceeded

The hub does not have enough power available to operate
the device driver name. Would you like assistance in
solving this problem? If you click No, the device may not
function properly.

I proceeded to pull out my usb devices, which consisted
of two items, Epson 900 printer and my wireless usb
card. After I pulled them out, i rebooted my system and
plugged in my usb wireless card. XP did not even see the
card or aknowledge it was in the connection. I tried the
same with my printer, no luck either.

I then proceeded to check device manager. I removed the
drivers of the usb hub and it automatically restored them
to no effect. So it finds my usb ports but it won't let
me use them.. I am not sure why.

Any body have a solution? Any help will be appreciated.

Tim
