Original Title: USB 2.0 Not working.I am using a digital recording interface with my laptop. The only way I get Cubase to work is if I disable a bunch of services under MSconfig. When I do this everything works and sounds great. The only problem is that USB 2.0 must have also been turned off in the process. When I go to transfer to a flash drive it takes forever. Can you tell me under the services tab which individual services can affect USB performance? Thanks all! I have a Dell Latitude D600 running XP SP3 and a Tascam US-1641. If anyone is in the market for a digital interface thats cheap and sounds great that's the one to get :)>

Hi Cholmes1977,As the issue does not occur after disabling few services in System Configuration Utility (msconfig.exe), I would suggest you to perform a clean boot troubleshooting following the steps below:Step 1: Start the System Configuration Utilitya. Click Start, click Run, type “msconfig” (without quotes), and then click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box will be displayed.b. In the System Configuration Utility dialog box, click the General tab, and then click Selective Startup.c. Click to clear the Process SYSTEM.INI File check box.d. Click to clear the Process WIN.INI File check box.e. Click to clear the Load Startup Items check box. Verify that Load System Services and Use Original BOOT.INI are checked.f. Click the Services tab.g. Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.h. Click Disable All, and then click OK.i. When you are prompted, click Restart to restart the computer.Step 2: Enable half of the servicesa. Follow steps 1a to start the System Configuration utility.b. Click the Services tab, and then click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box.c. Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.d. Click OK, and then click Restart.Step 3: Determine whether the problem returnsIf the problem still occurs, repeat step 1 and step 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you originally selected in the Service list.If the problem does not occur, repeat step 1 and step 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.If only one service is selected in the Service list, and you still experience the problem, the selected service causes the problem. Go to step 6. If no service causes this problem, go to step 4.Step 4: Enable half of the Startup itemsa. Follow steps 1a to start the System Configuration utility.b. Click the Startup tab, and then click to select half of the check boxes in the Startup Item list.c. Click OK, and then click Restart.Step 5: Determine whether the problem returnsIf the problem still occurs, repeat step 1 and step 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you originally selected in the Startup Item list.If the problem does not occur, repeat step 1 and step 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Startup Item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.If only one startup item is selected in the Startup Item list, and you still experience the problem, the startup item that is selected in the list is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely causes the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the Hide all Microsoft services check box in either step.Step 6: Resolve the problemAfter you determine the startup item or the service that causes the problem, contact the program manufacturer to determine whether the problem can be resolved. Or, run the System Configuration Utility, and then click to clear the check box for the problem item.Step 7: Configure Windows to use a Normal startup state after troubleshooting the issue.After you used the clean boot to resolve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.a. Click Start, and then click Run.b. Type “msconfig” (without quotes), and then click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box is displayed.c. Click the General tab, click Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services, and then click OK.d. When you are prompted, click Restart to restart the computer.Reference Link: How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" stateHope this helps.Thanks and Regards,Santosh Y – Microsoft SupportVisit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
