Laptops sometimes only have low-power usb sockets. Both the devices you mention sound like they may require power over USB. Try connecting the devices via a self-powered USB hub (ie. one with its own AC power supply). Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
