This isn't the source of the problem, its also happen to me under WinXP, but they rename
automatically (after about 1 second) when accepting data transfer on the reader.
This make me think of a plug-and-play problem, first verify that the Plug-and-Play Service is Started (see Services in Administration Tools). You can also try to delete all your USB devices in Device Manager. Delete a single one first, count how many are remaining, search for hardware modifications in the Action menu, if the device you just deleted reappear, you can try to do the same on all the USB devices (in a single operation, it's too difficult to do that one after another), this sometimes reset some ports parameters/drivers settings. You can also try to search for an update of the drivers for your USB ports (depends on your PC motherboard chipset).
Come people
appeared to succeed to fix their USB port problems by deleting C:\windows\inf\infcache.1 file (just in case it's required later, I'd rather rename it to something like _infcache.1_) before restarting their PC, but I never tried that myself.
