    Just got a link from a support service for debugging a USB device for windows... it's pretty deep, but handy to know what's going on here!

    It helps spot devices still assigned to ports that might interfere with current devices attached.

    There's also a hot fix for USB voltage changes that ISN'T in any SP update - if you have erratic performance with a USB device in windows then go check / get - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c2ab5a48-8240-4934-bbd8-34fb8a0fce3b&displaylang=en

    I know a few people that have had problems with USB soundcards - especially with laptops - this works a treat... If you have problems with getting the fix, pm me.

    Yes, no problems with Macintosh - none at all *KERNAL PANIC* - oh, and the exploding iPod batteries ;)

    My love of macs was ruined that day they had to patch the calculator on an older OS as it wouldn't add up correctly ;) - they tried to keep it quiet ;)
