Generic Host Win32 error... please help!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Thanks Rick, but this does not fix my problem.

My USB Hub works perfectly on other PC which has the same OS and software
installed. I have 6 USB ports on my system and I have tried every single
one with the USB Hub and same problem persists. Also, my HP All-in-one
printer works perfectly on any of the USB ports.

Any other suggestions?

My problem was found to be on my FAT formatted Pendrive in the USB HUB. I
copied the data to my harddrive and formatted the Pendrive as FAT32.
Thanks Robert for your help.
