usb2.0

[paulhol]

i bought and installed a usb2.0 pci card, and connected it to an 5.25" internal mount usb2 hub. i connected one of the remaining four ports on the card to my dell monitor, which in turn is a 4 port hub. the computer recognises the pci card as a usb2 device, but for some reason does not operate anything at usb2 speeds that are plugged in through the monitor, and doesnt recognise anything in the 5.25" hub at all?

Might be better posting in the computer forum.. There are load sof people in there who wear tweed, and have leather pads on their elbows, and bear a disticnt resemblence to those old lecturers on the Open University..

it may be a silly question, but are the usb ports in your monitor usb2.0 compliant?. also, try the latest drivers from teh manufactorer

i didnt even know there was a computer forum!

well i shall skulk away in embarassment, i just cracked the case open to find i had forgotten to plug the internal hub into the power supply


still not sure why it always asks me to reinstall the genric usb hub every time i switch the monitor off and on though.
