USB PROBLEM, Stops Working.

[gilera]

I have a Flight Simulator box connected via USB, this works OK. However if i do not use it for a day or so it will not work when i return to use it. I have to unplug box and then reconnect it to USB and then it will work OK again. Is there a way i can turn this USB connection on and off via computer without removing and reconnecting USB?

Look in Device Manager->USB Root Hub and disable the power mgmt feature.

Thanks EasyStvy, I have 5 root hubs is there an easy way of knowing which is the one i want?

Turned all 5 off, no difference. When i powered up this morning Simulator USB would not run,had to remove and then reconnect.

I have just found out if i connect it to a 4 way USB non powered hub when the fault is evident i get a message that it is faulty and windows does not recognise it. Plug it back into computer direct and all is OK.

Still stopping after computer shutdown. When it is working i get ADC controller OK in game controller window. When not running there is no controller in game window, however if i enter ADC manually in game controller window, it changes it to E-SKY and throws up this message. Any ideas why? If ido change it to a different USB socket it starts working again.

Still a mystery, when not working the joystick does not show up in GAME CONTROLLERS but if i move joystick to adjacent USB socket it shows up immediately and all works OK until computer reboot when sometimes it comes on and others it goes missing from GAME CONTROLLERS.
