My Windows XP crashed on ousbehci.sys (vers. 2.4.1.2) when connecting to Nokia ovi Suite with my Nokia C5-00 cell phone.
I found an older version 2.1.11.0 of ousbehci.sys on the web ftp-site:
http://www.filewatcher.com/m/ousbehci.sys.42752.0.0.html
Replacing the version 2.4.1.2 with version 2.1.11.0 in C:\Windows\system32\drivers made connection to ovi Suite work fine.
