Hi Jim and Joe, My luck lasted short time. Everything seemed to work FB after application of all suggested power modifications, but there it is again, some of the USB/RS232 ports/devices get again inhibited by Windows, though in much greater time intervals then before (sometimes all OK during 1 hour of operation, then suddenly SteppIR or antenna rotor stop responding .... :( ....
