So far, so good, Art. You are right - the older VIA chipsets were a real pain. Maybe they've got their act together with the later ones. Jim Arthur Entlich wrote: >Hi Jim, > >This sounds like a newer mainboard which, chances are, has a perfectly >fine set of VIA chips. Older VIA chipsets (lik

Hi Jim, This sounds like a newer mainboard which, chances are, has a perfectly fine set of VIA chips. Older VIA chipsets (like from 3-4 years ago) were problematic (Like on my Asus P3V133 board). Hopefully the flashing of the bios will settle things. Art James L. Sims wrote: > Art, > > The ma

I had tried the "Rescan for Hardware" routine in Device Manager, Laurie, to no avail. So far, things seem to be working OK with the new BIOS flash. I agree that USB is finicky and why the new keyboards and pointing devices have USB interface is beyond me. I recently had a new pointing device giv

Art, The mainboard (Gigabyte GA-7VAXP) was new last January and has a KT400 (PAC) and VT8235 (PSIPC) chipsets. Unfortunately, they are VIA chipsets. I almost did not buy this mainboard because it had VIA chipsets but, in talking to AMD, an engineer there said that this was a good mainboard and s

I'm assuming the card reader is USB 1.1 Is the USB hub you are using powered externally, or by the USB connection from the computer? Which USB chipset is in your system? Is it an older VIA set? Have you checked is new drivers might be available for the card reader, since it sounds that it is ha

First are your USB controllers on your motherboard or are they addin PCI adapter cards? If the first, you may need to upgrade your BIOS for your motherboard; or you could install a PCI USB adapter card in an open PCI slot which would avoid the motherboard controllers and BIOS. Secondly, are you c

Hello! Not sure about Win 2K, but under XP, there is a "Safely Remove Hardware" icon that shows up in the Taskbar. You select the piece of hardware you want to remove, and a few seconds later, it tells you it is OK to remove it. Les > -Original Message- > Subject: [filmscanners] Device i
