Thanks Charlie,
I think in my case its not related to drivers... The PC
will not even POST with the unit plugged in. However if you unplug it, wait
for the 'starting windows' then life is good. 'back in the day' I recall a
number of USB devices had similar issues (especially in laptops) I am
guessing its the same deal here.

Andrew
I owe you some from the DHCP stuff of late, but I may not be able to help
you here. We have a number of Smart 60's in place and I have not seen that
exact behavior. I have seen OTHER equipment having an issue when the
SmartBoard is on the system. For example we Mobi units (Wireless Digital
Slate devices) and they seem to fight with the Smartboard software. You
might try uninstalling any other hardware on the machine that is "added" and
might be fighting with the SmartBoard. If that does not go try uninstalling
the SmartBoard drivers and finally the the Smart notebook software. My gut
tells me you will either see it go OK when another device gets removed or
the SmartBoard drivers go away. Smart seems to not always play well with
the other devices.
Good luck on it.
Thanks for the tips on the DHCP stuff.

I have a few of these now (Smartboard 60's) and myself (and staff) have
noticed the PC (Clone based Media PC) will not start if the unit is plugged
in. Only starts the post and will stay (without error) doing nothing unless
the USB cable is unplugged to the Smartboard. Once it hits starting windows
your fine to plug it in, and all is well.
I tried a powered usb hub, but not only did it NOT work, the hub got hot
enough to melt the sticker inside its plastic case?
Anyone have this, and/or a fix?
