Thanks lanxxx,
The last several restarts have been good, no screw ups, so next time it happens I will definitely try it out. My mouse is always the one that's connected closest to the MB. Now that I think about it, the Printer is on the second set of USB ports, which ALSO is on the further end, away from the MB. But then, where do I move that one to? haha there are only 2 ports closest to the MB =P

Anyways, is it possible to force a device to run at High-Speed? My mouse, a Logitech G9, isn't supported under OS X. I have worked well around this, but it is supposed to run at high-speed, but just doesn't under OS X. If I could fix this, it might make it feel as smooth as it does on Windows.
