Dell Computer does not boot when HP 6310 All-In-One is turned on

I am working with a Dell Desktop that is several years old. It is running XP-Pro SP2.  It had an HP6210 all in one installed.  The HP6210 was not longer working.  I uninstalled the 6210.  Rebooted the computer.  Installed the HP6310 according to instructions.  When I restart the computer with the HP6310 turned on, the computer hangs.  I have checked the boot order.  The machine is old enough that the only boot device options are the hard drive, the CD-Rom or diskette.  I have the hard drive and CD-ROM enabled with the diskette disabled.  I still get the same result of the computer hanging until the HP6310 device is turned off.  As soon as I turn the HP6310 off, the computer immediately proceeds with the boot process.  The only solutions I have seen is disable the USB boot option (which is not an option on this computer).  Is there any other solution to this issue other than having the end-user remember to turn off his HP6310 device prior to restarting his computer.

Thanks.  I appreciate the feed back.  I will tried the reboot and uptodate from Michko and will try the updated HP6310 drivers, but I think nobus is going to be more accurate as it is several years old ( only 2 USB ports).
I appreciate the feed back.   Sorry for the slow response.  My computer as down.
