Hi,
I have a pc running W2K Pro SP4. It has two USB ports. However, I have three
USB devices--a printer, a 3comADSL modem, and an external HDD, so I've been
unplugging one device to put another in. All devices work fine.
Fed up with moving cables, I bought a Trust 4 port USB hub. Now one USB port
on the PC is used by the printer directly and the other is used by the hub.
I've plugged the other two devices (the external HDD and the modem) into the
hub. The printer continues to work fine. The external HDD works fine. The
modem doesn't work: whenever Windows starts it reloads the modem drivers and
eventually crashes with a blue screen and an error message along the lines
of "IRQ not less than or equal".
If I don't use the hub, I don't get a crash.
I tried killing the driver installation process...that avoids the crash, but
still leaves me without a working modem. The only thing I can do right now
is revert to my original method of unplugging and replugging, without using
the hub at all.
Anyone got any advice?
Thanks a lot,
Adrian
