i had my trackball plugged into the usb via utlimarc's opti-pac.  it was working like a charm, and i unplugged it, plugged it into the same usb port in the back of my pc, not the front and it is coming up unrecognizable.  i would think this is impossible.  well i'm inches from throwing my whole control panel out my f'in window, so any godly soul who can help me with this, please do.
