| 716189 | 2008-10-31 04:57:00 | I had the same problem. In the end it was a USB hub not being able to supply enough power. I managed to get it going with one plug going directly into the PC, while the other hooks into a hub. | seltsam (13470) | ||

| 716191 | 2008-10-31 06:58:00 | Yup, not everything likes being plugged into a USB hub. Which is pretty stupid. Thats the point in getting one |

| 716192 | 2008-10-31 07:27:00 | Thanks Speedy and Seltsam. Before deleting all the USB controllers I think I know what the answer is from the repliesI. I've been putting both connections into a 4 port hub instead of separate USB connections. I suppose when you think about it, it makes sense, If you use a hub, all the power is still being chanelled into the one source. thanks a lot guys. willbry |

| 716193 | 2008-10-31 07:45:00 | Hey Bingo ! Have just tried both connections into separate USB slots and it works. Using the hub was my downfall. Thanks everybody who contributed. Another successful outcome. How would we survive without F1? | willbry (1555) | ||
