4 port usb hub

I had the same thing happen with my Belkin 4 port hub on my Windows 98se
machine. I used it for over a year with no problems. I simply unplugged the
device and one of the side plugs and then plugged them back in (every time I
turned machine on) and everything worked fine like that. My Belkin was a 2.0
and the Dell was a 1.1. Don't bother adding a card or buying anything else.
My Belkin was $30. First I got the yellow light and the device wasn't
recognized; then after unplugging and plugging again I got the green light
and all was fine.

If the keyboard has been connected to the new hub, then change things
around
so that it is connected direct to the controller port, and something else
goes through the hub.

Many thanks to Dan, Mart, Ingeborg, Dlsayremn for all of your help.
The
computer boots as far as the HP logo and then stops there. It is a HP
Pavilion 6611. Funny you should mention keyboards that is when the
problem
started when he bought a new usb keyboard and didnt have enough usb
sockets,
I will go into device manager and see if I can sort things out there.
His
son just keeps telling him to buy a new computer but he says while this
one
is going he is quite happy to use it and I say good on him. Many
thanks.
