Hi there, have a machine using Windows XP that for some
reason the usb ports work intermittently. If you unplug
the device and then replug it in it works ok ?? Unless
this is done the device stops functioning ? Any ideas

My Pockey USB drive used to do that until I put it on a port
(a hub actually) with its own power supply.
