Hi all.
Running 845PESV Intel mb, W2KP, latest service packs, spyware/virus free. This mb comes with 2 usb ports on back, plus 2 usb ports on front. In bios, adv usb2.0 is enabled, and all ok in Dev mgr. All usb slots work for mouse and dig camera, but only the back slots will recognize my usb jumpdrive. When i plug jumpdrive into front slots, it causes my usb mouse to freeze, and no recognition of jumpdrive at all. Have checked the frontside pinout/cable connection on Intel site - ok, all drivers for chipset installed from mb cd. Lexar jumpdrive has drivers on it for auto recognition/install - works great on rear usb ports only. I do have a usb hub I could try on front ports, but would rather just be able to use the front ports for everything, instead of reaching to back of puter, or having extra clutter on desk with hub.

Any suggestions on what could possibly the cause of this problem? Possible solutions? Have read through the entire 40 pages in this forum, and no problem exactly like mine.

Thanks in advance,
