USB Hub disabled after reboot
Customer has a system with three USB devices but only two USB ports. Running ME. No problem, all you need is a USB hub.
This worked correctly until the system was rebooted. Then the device was disabled in Device Manager. Enabling the device restored functionality until rebooting. Then it always is disabled.
When it works the hub has a green question mark in Device Manager. I know that this is ME specific stating that a generic driver was loaded. No newer drivers are available.
Microsoft says: Note that for USB hubs, a Microsoft-provided driver is always loaded; the compatible driver indication signals only that a newer USB hub was detected (a USB hub that was unknown at the time Windows Me was released). If the new USB hub is in full compliance with industry specifications, there should be no loss of functionality.
Tried a 4 port USB PCI card but that appears to hang the system.
Any ideas why it would be disabled on every reboot?
Other than Windows ME is affectionately known as the Mistake Edition?
