usb problem or motherboard?

[peacesam]

Hello guys, i have a very confusing situation here... awhile ago before i've formatted my pc, once in a while my windows xp will stop booting (after loading the windows xp screen and before entering the windows) for about 1 minute or more. I found out that it was my printer usb port that caused my windows to slow down on booting. so i unplug the usb and it works perfectly..later i put tried putting back the printer usb and it worked perfectly for weeks. Now i've formmated my pc, it seems like my usb ports are stopping my windows from booting for about a minute or 2 mins. So again, i unplug all my usb ports and everything just went back to normal..... may i know the solution for this?

Try a few things:
1) Do all ports cause this problem or just one?
2) Update your printer driver from the Web
3) Make sure you have the latest chipset drivers from Intel for your motherboard (again from the Web).

Might check to see of the usb port is set as v1 or v2.Had one printer that did not understand usb 2.0, setting to normal 1.1 worked.

they printer usb port works...even if i unplug the printer port, the same problem is still happening. The more usb ports are hooked up, the longer it takes to boot up.
