USB Conflict

New PC.
Vista Ultimate SP2
MS Entertainment Wireless 8000 kbd and mouse.

When ever I plug or unplug a thumb drive or other USB device (SD with
adapter), the keyboard and mouse locks up for several seconds to several
minutes. Totally locks up until the thumb drive is accepted by Vista.

The kbd mouse interface is plugged directly into the motherboard rear
connector. The thumb drive is plugged into the front motherboard USB port.
There is no hub.

How do I rectify this?
Yes, I checked and I have all the latest USB drivers and 8000 drivers.
In fact I have reloaded them to no avail.
Suggestions (other than taking a chainsaw to them), please!

Yep, I fought this too. My situation might have been
even more critical - I use PPC's to run my service business
and cannot imagine functioning without them.

Most flavors of the PPC OS past 2003SE are pretty much
cow dung, inflated with worhless fluff you don't need and/or want,
missing things I rely on (like syncing over 802.11).
Since Vista wouldn't properly support them,
I upgraded the new UMPC I bought that came with Vista
with XP Pro (you betcha, XP is a definite upgrade to Vista)
after wasting a month running Vista trying to get my legacy
hardware to work. I do NOT believe in the irresponsible "just
buy new hardware until the OS works" model of consumptive
marketing - I use stuff until it wears out (I have bought enough
spare 2003SE devices + laptops that run or have driver support
for XP to last me for years).

I reinstalled all the stuff I was used to on XP (and which worked as it
was supposed to) and life was swell once again.
