USB hub troubles

Sometimes I need to use a USB hub on some of my computers since there aren't enough ports.

Now on Windows XP and 7+ the USB hub works without problem, however on Vista, any keyboard and mouse plugged in through this hub will not work, Vista will say that the USB device is not recognised and both devices become unknown. However for some reason USB drives work.

I have tried another hub and also powering the hub to no avail. Issue exists on both 32 and 64bit Vista.

Any idea as to what's going on? Both hubs I tried are USB 3.0, however if they're connected to a USB 2.0 port they shouldn't make a difference AFAIK.
