In Dec I went back to 1.18 because my XP had a half dozen BSODs since
I installed 2.0 in late Oct. I have not had a BSOD since returning to
1.18.
Someone suggested running Ramtest incase the BSODs were caused by some
RAM weakness. I did that - no ram errors.
However, when removing and reinstalling SM versions, some other of my
USB connected components seemed to run slowly - and it was plugged in
via an old expansion hub. My internet (ethernet) was plugged into
that same expansion hub and I wondered if some other internet
activities were being affected by a slow expansion hub. So I swapped
USB connections to get my internet on a USB port right on the
motherboard. Eureka - all my internet action now seemed more crisp!
My current postulation is the BSODs were caused by timing problems
between the USB handling and SM 2.0. Not illogical that the new SM
2.0 base code expects tighter signal timing. (I could try proving
this using Firefox& Thunderbird on the old USB setup but...)
I debated going back to SM 2.0 now but I'm spoiled by 1.18's much
simpler handling of passwords for apps that require them. Question:
is SM 2 going to be modified to handle passwords decently? And if so,
about when might that change be expected?
What is your OS, not listed in the header.
Running XP-Pro SP3 here and have not experienced any issues that you are
having with USB - SM2 and so on. I also run remote desktop quite often
with no problems. USB connections - 12 devices.
I'm using XP with SP3. My PC has 8 USB ports on the montherboard. I
think my problem was an old USB expansion hub. I got a new 4 port
expansion hub ($4.95) and all hubs at the store were advertised to
handle 480 Mbps. That speed may be only marketing hype but I cannot
help but think that my old hub may well be slower.
The extra overhead needed to convert ethernet from / to usb can
be a big slow down.
