Can be also a OS limitation over a number of devices... but... The Antminers are seen by windows as COM ports and Windows can see max 256 com ports... as reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/100111

Most likely.... Power issue

Windows XP struggles with devices that look identical to it, and falls over with more than 8 of the same device. You may never get all of them working well on that OS. Furthermore power could well be a problem as said.

Looks like not enough power... You use external power adapter?
