Removable PnP Drive problem

I am experiencing a highly annoying problem on my Dell
8100 laptop running XP SP1. Whenever I plug in a device
that creates a new drive letter (USB camera, USB keyfob
drive, FireWire drive, etc.) Windows appears to see it -
the device appears in the "Safely Remove..." taskbar menu
and the machine beeps, but the new drive letter doesn't
appear in My Computer. In order to make the drive
accessible I have to reboot my laptop with the device
connected. Note also that if I plug in one of these
devices when Windows has started, any attempt to shut
down results in a hang (looks like in RUNDLL32).

Anyone seen this before?
