Seems like it doesn't copy, or anything for that matter.

1253711 2012-01-14 21:42:00 What about cycling the power to the USB hub?
Pull it out from the computer. Pull the power from the hub. Remove all other USB item from the hub. Reset your computer as well for good measure. Once the computer is fully up and running (about a minute after the Desktop is displayed) try to plug power back into the hub, and then plug the hub into a REAR USB port on your computer. Wait a minute in case Windows needs to detect the hub. Then one at a time - try to add your various USB components to the hub, giving Windows a minute each time to detect / install drivers as needed.

Any good?

My wireless mouse was giving me heaps of dropouts. In my case the solution was to run a USB cable to a hub that sits a lot closer to the mouse, and plug the mouse receiver into the hub. Been trouble-free since (cheapie unpowered hub at that). Sure, not the issue you have, kinda the opposite, but what the heck.

What the heck indeed Paul.

New unit arrived this morn, plugged it in and it works like a charm, so faulty unit was prob.

Thanks lads for your time.
