    Had a desktop brought in a couple of weeks ago, where the front USB sockets had been incorrectly wired to the SPDIF socket on the mainboard.

    If a laptop this isn't relevant,,,,,Could also answer whether you were using the (same) sockets in the front or the back?

    using XP and it's an HP compaq

    it's a desktop and i use the ports at the front ( it's always been ok for mouse and camera etc and they're easier to get to!)
