Do you mean just plug it into each port after the initial install on one particular port? Please clarify. Charley, you say “place the device to ALL the USB ports on the computer”.

Do you mean just plug it into each port after the initial install on one particular port?

Please clarify.

USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 - Most common devices are USB 2.0 and older devices are USB 1.1, some cheap USB can be 1.1 and find the USB 2.0 devices may not function fully on an USB Hub running version 1.1! This should be pointed out to everyone and to be made aware of it, how to tell if the device is an 2.0 or 1.1? Look on the box (if you still have them) and it should say USB 2.0 or 1.1 version. Some devices do actually warn you that you has plugged into 1.1 and would work better on 2.0. Thanks, Peter Hi,
