They show up as yellow exclamation warnings in Devices Manager within XP. This requires 1. either plugging/unplugging, which is inconvenient since my tower is in a cabinet, or 2. choosing the devices in the list, clicking "uninstall" and then restarting the computer. I just want them to recognize flawlessly on every startup. (And no, the conflict fixit Ultimarc provides for Ipac doesn't work for the Ultrastiks--or at least not on my system.) --- End quote --- Too low USB power from your motherboard. On BYOAC forum is my solution for it - work for others too. But if you have weak motherboard it can be wrong solution. |

If I can reproduce it I can fix it. Good idea about the lockwasher, I will implement this. Actually a dab of epoxy on the threads is another good method. andy@ultimarc.com |

This (USB connectivity issues) is the only thing making me apprehensive about the u360's. Should I expect to have occasional issues, or should they not give me ANY problems (assuming I've got everything setup right)? Rick |

HP claims that my board has enough power to support all 6 main USB ports but not necessarily if any is driving a hub--which it isn't. Right now my USB ports are occupied with 1. Happs 3" trackball; 2. Tornado spinner; 3. I-Pac2; 4. UltraStik 1; 5. Ultrastik 2. The keyboard and mous are going thru the dedicated PS-2 ports. |
