Usb Hub's
I have an Asus P5B-Deluxe running Vista Ulitmate 32bit. I am running
out of Usb ports so I went to my local retail shop and purchased a powered 2.0 Usb Hub. I plug the usb hub into a port that is directly on the motherboard. Vista says the device is installed correctly. I plug my Sandisk memory disk reader as per instruction. Samething Vista says it has been installed correctly. So I instered a memory disk into one of the slots. The reader acts as it is trying to read the disk but fails. I then unplug the reader from the hub and unplug the hub from the usb slot on the motherboard. I then plug the memory card directly into the same usb port on the motherboard. And this time it works. So my problem is anything plugged into the hub does not work only if it is plugged directly to the motherboard. Has anyone seen anything like this with Vista? |
