USB Confusement

    I have 4 USB ports on the rear of the machine and 2 at the front, most are in use except 3 of them, they are all USB 2.0 ports, however an Iomega External drive USB 2.0 is causing problems. Everytime i plug in the USB modem (USB 1.1) it just turns off the modem and i have to restart. When the External HD is plugged out it works fine, any ideas?

    Try sourcing an old USB add on card, a PCI one or somthing.
