My 2c cents here: USB printers, scanners and other peripherals that plug into the wall or are battery-powered typically don't draw power from the USB port so are not affected by the 500mA limit. The 7-in-1 card reader may be marginal in its power requirement, and some motherboards are less robust

Hi! If you can't read the BSOD error message, you need to set your machine NOT to reboot after crashing. Control Panel-System-Advanced-Startup/Recovery-Settings. UNCHECK "Automatically Restart" and hit OK a lot. Les -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version

I have three devices plus a seven-and-one card reader, all connected to onboard USB ports. My trackball, an Epson 1640 scanner and R2400 printer work fine but the card reader fails to se the Compact Flash card when it's inserted and a reboot is required - much like my older machine, running win 2K

That's and Idea. Thanks! I usually check for updates but I haven't checked the Asus website for the new board. Jim Tony Sleep wrote: >On 03/06/2006 James L. Sims wrote: > > >>These are USB devices, Tony. >> >> > >Ah, OK. That is weird, then. I've used USB & USB2 a lot and not had any >problems

If you have connected the devices to an unpowered hub, this can create problems - especially if you have several devices that have power requirements connected to the same hub directly or daisy chained to it. Furthermore, despite the claims, two many devices and/or hubs daisy chained of the same US

These are USB devices, Tony. I was told by a so-called computer guru that this problem was corrected in XP. It could be that the device is incorrectly installed - it's a USB 2 device but its speed, or slowness, indicated that Win XP thinks it an early USB device. I've tried uninstalling the USB
