Winxp updated, mobo drivers, bios updated - clean installation following
installation of new hd's some 3 months ago
Recently purchased Eaton Nova AVR 1250 ups to replace an old faulty unit
(different make, but also USB)
USB connected direct to mobo, the ups load level is only 16%
Unit constantly loses its connection, usually it re-enables after a few secs
but occassionaly the only way to reconnect is by rebooting PC (re setting
usb to same or other port has no impact)
If it loses connection then obviously I dont have proper ups protection, ie
no shutdown sequence
Acording to Eaton tech 'there is an inherent problem with winxp & win2k and
USB connection' and I should 'try' a usb pci card, and they wont except an
RMA. This sounds a bit of cock & bull to me
Keybd/wireless mouse, scanner and printer are the only usb devices
connected, mobo has 6 usb connectors No event err's
