Try to use an usual USB hub without power (passive USB hub) and remove all hidden USB devices in the Windows XP device manager.

...
yes... i try your suggestions:

bios: my hp dv5165 doesn't have a configuration for usb legacy or other
resistor of 100 ohm...same result...
usb hub with alimentation...."the worst way and this isn't necessary".......like you say...

i thing i take the USB 2.0 receiver...but i'm not able to solder very well...and i don't need the power on connection for my hp pavilion....

It should be possible to connect the USB IR to an active USB hub and use a battery for the USB hub.
But using batteries would be the worst way and this isn't necessary.

Did you already try my previous suggestions ?
Because the latest USB Ultra IR v2.0 receiver development works with two zener diodes to get 3.3V on the USB data lines instead of 5 V.

There could be several reasons why this USB device isn't working proper with your laptop.

- the USB port is set to "USB 2.0 only" instead of "USB 1.1 and 2.0 support".
Please check the BIOS settings and enable also low speed USB 1.1 devices.

- the motherboard of your notebook doesn't offer constant 5 Volt supply on the USB port.

- or the port needs 3.3V on the data line - for this you'll find a solution in the driver installation guide.

Or try to connect the USB IR with an active USB hub to the notebook.
