Very strange. I installed a new Linksys network adapter(USB) with
Speedbooster on my PC. Works quite well....except that now when I plug into
my USB ports on the front of the PC (ie. my camera), I lose the connection
and cannot repair it and have to restart the puter to get it back....anyone
ever hear of such a thing?

Maybe one of the devices is drawing too much power from the USB
port.

Hi

Make sure that both devices have the latest drivers (and BIOS), drivers and
BIOS can be found on the support sections of the manufacturers' sites.

The USB system has few Roots on the Motherboard and each one is connected to
few ports. Might be that your USB Wireless and the front port are on the
same USB Root and they cannot work together. Try the camera on all the USB
Ports and see if it make a difference. If it does not help, might be that
using an USB Hub that has its own power supply would help.
