Todd#43 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Just an update, on the off chance that anyone is interested.My computer problem has gone away. I had a wireless USB keyboard that I was using when my notebook was on my desk. I swapped USB ports, and the problem went away. Guess I've got a bad port. No biggie...I've got a bunch of others.Thanks for all the suggestions, I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd#43 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 doah! I hate wireless keyboards...I think its the port, not the keyboard. I'm still using it, just in a different port. No problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 yes, I've seen bad usb ports, and funky ones, even on new computers. I've seen usb mice that will only work on certain usb ports. Seen usb ports that will grab thumbdrives and not let go. Have to break them to get them out. Look in the usb port and see if it's got dirt, lint, or junk in there. Maybe it's a simple fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
