Is it one of your ports? Make sure both ports are working. If both are working then plug both the devices in and then do this

Right click my computer > properties > hardware > device manager

Are there anything with a ? by it or a !

Can you see both the devices? If your computer does see the device you will need to manually assign a drive letter to the device.

I am pluging the 2nd device in the same port, device manager shows nothing unusual. But I do get this pop up

I click on it and get this. I try to reconnect the thumbdrive but samething happens

I've updated them but when its weird when I goto device manager it says I have 10 usb ports. when infact I have only 6. The two in the front are the ones I almost always use. Heres what I see...

Did you try deleting all of them and then reboot and let Windows redetect them?

A USB device is not recognized if you attach it immediately after your Windows XP-based computer comes out of standby or hibernation

A USB device that is connected to a USB 2.0 hub is not detected in Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, or Windows Server 2003 x64 versions

USB device does not function after connecting device to a Windows XP Service Pack 2-based computer or to a Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005-based computer (Devices need more than 500mA of power)

In Device Manager right click on your USB hubs and select Properties. Under the Power Management tab uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

In Device Manager click View then Show hidden devices. Uninstall all USB devices. Turn off the computer and unplug all of the USB devices. Reboot the PC a couple of times then shut it down to reconnect the USB devices. Restart and let them be redetected.

As a last step try this (regards USB connected cameras).

after some testting I have found that the back usb ports are excellent I can plug in 2 devices side by side. Only the front 2 usb ports conflict. I can plugin 1 or the other in either usb port but not both. Wierd

At that point I would suspect a power issue.

Are these both devices which draw power from the USB port? Neither has an external transformer?

[X-Cannon]

Correct both powered by USB and no they don't have external transformers. I just recently purchased a new 430 W PSU old one was 350 so a bit more juice. I'm thinking just get a USB hub connect it to the back and go that rout...but I really want to know why these 2 USB ports in the front don't co-operate its really frustrating!
