If any one obtained the USB 2.0 hotfix, please let me know. Windows XP, due to a bug in the current Microsoft USB drivers, sees a USB 2.0 hub as an unknown device even when its connected to a USB 2.0 port. I'm waiting for MS techs to e-mail it to me but if any one else has this hotfix (892050), it would be appreciated. Thanks

I have no idea what that is, sorry. This computer has USB 2.0, 2 on back and 2 on front but they are hardly used and work fine.

oh and while on the subject does anyone have Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and wants to sell it cheap?? =o)

[GeronL]

Seriously, if you have a USB 2.0 port, what does the hub do exactly?? Allows more devices is my guess.

Yes. I'm asking if someone on here got the hotfix first from Microsoft's techs. Its not listed on the website and I think its a beta driver. It promises to fix though, the issue of Windows not finding my USB 2.0 hub when I plug it into my high speed USB port.

There has to be someone here who has a link to MSFT, I wonder who

I e-mailed them this evening. My Startech hub's fine but Windows refuses to recognize it in the USB 2.0 port. I know it works for sure enough - Windows sees it right away in the legacy USB 1.1 port!

OK, now that would be strange

No it's not. I had some similiar issues under both ME and 2k with a damaged USB 2.0 driver, which I was later able to fix by reinstalling the driver after some crappy ram was taken out...seems it was ruining the driver as soon as it was installed while it was in.

its not just XP, got that on 98SE too

Is this a recent problem? I have two high-speed hubs; one on a newer XP machine with a high-speed USB port built in, and one on an older computer with a high-speed USB add-on card. I also have a high-speed USB KVM switch.Both machines are Dells, and the hubs (which I've had about 2 years) are Belkin.

Occasionally, the USB hub malfunctions -- more often on the older machine, but a cold reboot eventually fixes the problem. It seems to me the problem started when I bought an new HP multi-function.

It's not an everyday problem, though -- it usually follows the Murphy's law of computers; the more important the stuff you're working on, the more likely the computer is to malfunction.

I'm using a D-Link model DUB-H4 USB 2.0 hub with WinXP Home and have no trouble getting it seen as exactly what it is. Device Manager confirms this.

Is the hotfix for specific platforms?
