Sounds like the combination simultaneious use is flooding your current USB
bus. If you have more than two ports, try moving one to a 3rd or 4th port.
Else, you may have to get a USB 2.0 card.

I have an older system and am using 98SE. Cable internet on USB, scanner
on USB, the two will not work simultaneously.I can only use one or the other
and I sometimes need both. I am still kind of computer illiterate. Can
someone please patiently help me solve this dilemma. Thanx
