USB Timing out

I currently have a Cannon flatbed scanner and a Cannon digital camers both of them connect to the computer using USB. (I am running Windows 2000 Profesional )They were working fine until I added a Matrox RT2500 video capture card. The card has a IEEE1394 controller on it. I am thinking that this might have some kind of problem with the USB port. Both the scanner and the camera are seen in the device manager, and they they both hook up but when they go to transfer data they seem to go into a loop which I can only get out of by rebooting the computer. I have worked with Canon on the problem they are not sure of the fix and I have yet to get hold of Matrox. I am guessing on the conflict between the Firewire and the USB I have never heard or read anything on these to items conflicting. I have unistalled and reinstalled both the scanner and Camera drivers and software a couple of times. No effect. I have tried all of my USB ports(No I am not running them through USB Hub) I have tried the camera on another computer and it works fine.

 

firewire/usb

This is what I would do. Shut down, pull power plug, pull anything attached to USB, Remove firewire card. Plug power, reboot into bios, disble on board USB. Save/exit get into windows. Now power down, pull power cord, insert firewire card & reboot. Windows found new "hardware menu ", follow. make sure it works rite! Now click shutdown.restart & get back into bios to "enable" USB save/exit, get into windows, "hardware found" windows installs the USB ports. Then plug you device into a usb port & windos should apply the files to run it. Key is to get the firewire working first

 

I updated my BIOS and I also updated my 4in1 drivers this solved my USB problems.
