You are probably drawing to much power from the USB line. Buy an inexpensive external powered USB unit an your problem should go away. Link provided for one example. Good luck.

This is one example but make sure you obtain a hub with external power.

Thank you so much for replying. Regret to say I tried a powered hub and no change. As soon as a third external device is plugged in, it is not recognised, no matter what device, if it is the third it does not work

So now it seems I need to change bios or reload OS or alter registry none of which I want to do - so need to use another PC ! As mentioned, the devices work on a tower PC but not this make of laptop.

Here is the MSFT fix but I hesitate to touch registry as I do not know what this change does
