Hi, I just got a brand new Lenovo 3000 n100 notebook.

Audio drivers install problems aside... the USB ports are giving me a real hard time. Here goes:
4 USB2 ports. Plug in a device, it gets recognized okay but once you start using the device, it turns off and shows as unrecognized.

I use a lot of PKI tokens and smartcard readers, and i realized this happens the moment i start typing in PIN for the token/smartcard. On a USB mouse its a bit harder to pinpoint the time.

Here's the info:

IRQ 0 System timer OK
IRQ 1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard OK
IRQ 7 Novatel Wireless UMTS Modem Parent OK
IRQ 7 Novatel Wireless UMTS Modem Primary Port OK
IRQ 7 Novatel Wireless UMTS Modem Secondary Port (COM5) OK
IRQ 8 System CMOS/real time clock OK
IRQ 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System OK
IRQ 10 Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller - 27DA OK
IRQ 12 Synaptics PS/2 Port Pointing Device OK
IRQ 13 Numeric data processor OK
IRQ 14 Primary IDE Channel OK
IRQ 15 Secondary IDE Channel OK

IRQ 23 SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller OK

I'd appreciate any help possible. Already uninstalled all the different pseudo-sec software that came with the comp (omnykey, thinkvantage etc.) also uninstalled the fingerprint reader that shows up on the USB hub. Turned off power management.
Any ideas???

Thanks

theres no errors logged for when the device switches off, but there are some system errors from a long time ago... "Service control manager" errors

"The ScRegSetValueExW call failed for Security with the following error:
Access is denied. " but i think thats a ZoneAlarm error.
except that only W32time, dnsapi and netlogon errors. nothing in the application or security.

any ideas? thanks..
