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.
