USB Hub

[Guest]

I just bought a 4 port external usb hub, its usb2.0 and comes with power
adapter. I plug it into my laptop (it has usb2.0) but nothing is detected, I
have XP pro SP2.
The hub has a blue LED which lights up, so I know it is connected. I
connect my USB flash dive onto the hub and and the light on the flash drive
goes on for 1 second, but my laptop still detects nothing.

I've tried updating all the usb controllers.

Please help
