USB ports memorizing what hardware is plugged into them - WINXP
Did I fall off the planet for awhile or is this something that has just started happening in the past six months or so? I've been experiencing issues when I move a pc from one location to another. If I don't plug peripherals back into the exact usb port when I reconnect everything...WinXP starts flipping me off (for lack of a better term). Basically it won't allow me to reinstall the printer or check scanner or whatever....it won't recognize hardware, if I do finally get it back up and working, the hardware will fail after a few uses. It's like "plug and play" has left the building!
To err is human. To forget to turn the NumLock on is just plain stupid.
