Bumpy start, but otherwise ok

Thought the cable to my wireless stick was to position better because I had disconnections from time to time.
So short cable out, long pure, Windows XP will detect the cable as a USB hub, but the stick is not recognized.
A normal memory stick was also not detected.
Only when I off the cable with memory stick and had plugged back he was recognized and the same game after the wireless stick.
Since the wireless stick is detected at every system startup.
