HI!
I have 2 USB ports which I use 1 for mouse the other one for modem.
The strange ting is that the mouse works only on one of those ports, but
when plugged into the other the system would detect a device has been
plugged in but not recognize it.
The modem seems to be fine on either USB port.
Anybody?

Some USB docs that come with the hardware recommend to disconnect all
your usb devices and then connect the new one, and do the drivers thing,
then connect to the other port and do the same. ie initially install on
both PC usb ports.
