Question USB ports

This follows on from a thread about BT Openworld and ADSL modems.

I have a powered USB 4 port hub which has all 3 ports connected going into the USB on the back of the PC - on the ports are a Sidewinder joystick, an ADSL modem and a Creative webcam, the power that these use are 20ma,500ma and 500ma (the hub can supply 4 x 500ma)

The problem is that I keep getting a message from win 98SE that the USB port has exceeded its capacity and requires a reset.
To do this means a reboot as if one falls over all USB ports fall over !

Does anyone know if this is just because of the volume of data going into the USB port eg from the modem or the cam, or am I missing something here
