USB problem
I just read Richard G Harpers problem with his USB and I
think I have the same, I have Win 98SE with two USB ports, one is occupied with my HP printer and the other I want to usee a jump drive for back ups, but my computer locks up when I try to use the jump drive, I do have a USB hub, but the jump drive did the same thing but I think I had it switched to run from the computers power supply and not from the AC outlet, could that be the problem. Thanks, David |

USB problem
Hi!
I don't have USB problems - I have USB solutions. :-) Yes, the powered hub must be switched over to use external (plug it into a wall) power, and that power source must be connected. Otherwise you're only making your problem worse instead of better. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

USB problem
You're welcome.
Computer USB ports can only supply a small amount of power - usually 500mA (half an ampere) for desktop PCs, often less than that for notebook PCs - to the USB devices connected to it. Some devices draw very little power but others need more than the computer can supply, or if you connect several devices they may draw more power combined than the port can supply. A powered hub, hooked up to an external power source, supplies more power than the internal ports do. -- Richard G.
