USB issues while playing games
I'm having issue with my USB devices when playing games (Lord of the Rings
Online, Team Fortress 2, etc), and only when playing games. I constantly get the 'USB device disconnect' sound and then a 'usb device reconnect' sound. Occasionally I will get a dialog box saying I should use the device in a USB 2.0 slot. All of my USB slots are 2.0 and powered. I have tried using different slots and different devices, but the behavior remains the same. Here is my hardware. All drivers are up-to-date. Vista Home Premium w/ SP1 32-bit ASUS P5E3 Premium@WiFi (X48 Chipset) eVGA Geforce 8800 GTS 512 Seagate 2700.11 (RAID 0) Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Logitech G5 Mouse Logitech G15 V2 Keyboard Multimedia card reader |

With Vista, it appears to me that USB devices *must* have the ability to withstand major power deficiencies. Most pre-vista USB devices do not have the ability to operate under the wide range of power availability that Vista wants. You might gain a "cure" for this problem by turning off the eye-candy that is standard with Vista. Make Vista operate more like XP. Q |

USB issues while playing games
I just wanted to let everyone know that the problem was with my media card
reader. I don't know why it is having problems when I play games. I suspect it has something to do with the way Vista handles power to USB devices.

USB issues while playing games
Hi,
I have the same problem when I'm using a browser, IE or Firefox, when I click on a tab, my mouse act like it's disconnected and, like you, I heared the disconnect/connect usb sound, sometime just by scrolling on a page the led of the mouse and keyboard are flashing. I have the same problem on any port and sometimes even the keyboad stop working at the same time. I only have my keyboard and mouse connect on my usb port and it's acting this way, it only started like 4 days ago. "Adam Bowers" a écrit dans le message de ...
