USB Ports

I remember a while back MS had an update for USB, see if any of these will apply to your problem.

Why not buy a USB2 card instead of using a hub. I use a hub but it cost $30 and I don't have any problems with it where I did with the built in ports in my older machine.

Let us know how you do.

Thank you. I looked up the updates and downloaded one but it's pre-my XP version so wouldn't load.

I tried a USB 2 port card but comput would not load it...? It did the USB 1 port cards. I installed two with two ports ea. and even those I have trouble with now and then.

But you know what we do with these machines its a wonder they work at all......

I have GoFlight Deck with six modules, cirrus yoke, rudder peddles, 3D glasses, Tracker Pro 6way, and a loose nut behind the yoke, more addons to FS9 then I can name plus aircraft up the "?" WOW - NEAT - AND FUN!

Wow, found the problem, found a temp fix.

well i didn't want to go into that "use at your risk" stuff, so i tried my registory mechanic program and bingo, one of my no longer wouldn't loaded USB items (nostromo speedpad) loaded!!!!!!!!!!

i use PC tools registory mechanic to keep my registory in order. I used PC tool defrager before MS was defraging. were talking DOS... IBM stuff... any rate if youre interested pc tools registory mechanic can be gotton here:

i still may try MSs work around.. if i do i'll pass it on too.....

Thanks for the links, I'm glad you got one started.
Don't forget all of those USB devices put a drain on your P/S and if it's a 250w from the factory it's not going to be able to handle everything on the computer.
You should look into a 450w (or bigger) from www.antec.com .
Good luck! 👍

Yep!

I had the system built for me it's 450+ wattttttsssss!

Tanks!
