Generic USB Hub

Mar 21, 2005 10:44AM PST

Morning everyone
I have a generic USB hub that is returning a green? A check on the driver returns the message that the windows driver is installed.

I recently reformated the hard drive and reinstalled ME and all of the software. The hub was working previously and so was my micro cruzer flash drive now that doesn't work. My camera and printer work from the hub okay and the flash drive does from the laptop.

The micro cruzer flash drive requires drivers for 98 and earlier. As some of the computers that I access require those drivers I did download them to copy across to a floppy disk. And no ... I never thought to download them straight to the disk Sad
Whether or not this is the problem now with the USB I do not know.

Any suggestions?

Regards
Fedelmar

So all I can note is "motherboard drivers" and all that is written at http://www.usbman.com

Did the Forum Tip go missing? It reads -> Tip: If you are asking for help to troubleshoot a computer-related problem, please be sure to include all the necessary information (ie: operating system, model number, hardware, software, etc) that will help others identify your problem for a speedy resolution.

Well I did mention that it was ME Happy and that the USB hub is generic meaning that it has no 'brand' name on it and that the flash drive was a Micro Cruzer ... I did over look San Disk ... the rest of the information was not relevant because my PC is an itsa bitsa Happy I mostly wanted to know what the green? meant.

Thanks for the link though ... I will scoot over and see what I can find ..
