usb devices,when unplugged shuts down xp

[STREETURCHINE]

so when i unplug a usb device be it my camera or a flashdrive.
and i have shut them down properly.
when i pull out the plug it causes a reboot to my windows xp.(havnt tried linux yet but will soon)
this is only been going on fort a day or two..

any one have any ideas i am running out..

edit // no it is fine in ubuntu works the way it should..
so i wonder what has changed on my xp install..?

hi, did you check the log files (event viewer), you may get a clue there, also, you could untick the automatic restart box, that way you may get a blue-screen with an error code you could post back, or type into the search bar at ms support website.

you could maybe try a system restore to a date before the fault developed.

Right-click 'My COmputer', select 'Properties', select 'Hardware' tab, click on 'Device Manager' and verify all nec drivers for USB, USB Host Controller, USB hub, etc are installed and working correctly...

i will have a read of them and see,but as to the microsoft support site ,well i will leave it there i was not impressed last time i tried to get help there.

i always turn off system restore,those nasty little viruses put things in there,just for that reason
