HI justin:
I think maybe the pc is protecting your pen drive. the usb ports on the
keyboard are only meant for low power aps such as mp3 players etc. your drives
is a high powerr item, and needs direct feed, rather than the third party feed
from your keyboard.
that's basically what the message is saying.
others may clarify this a bit.
Hope to hear from you soon.
from Martin.

Subject: [access-uk] Exceeding usb hub port
Hi everyone,
I have a little problem. I'm not sure why this is happening though.
I have six usb ports at the back of my computer (2 usb 1.1 and 4 usb 2.0
hubs).
I have recently purchased a usb/usb 2 port hub keyboard. The ports being on
both top left and right of keyboard. The make is Keysonic.
I plugged the keyboard into the usb 1.1 port. All fine, keyboard works great!
However, I can't use the two usb ports on the keyboard. When I go to plug in
my pen drive I get a message telling me that says
"usb hub power exceeded
the hub does not have enough power available to operate the usb mass storage
device, click this message etc. etc."
Well, I go into this message to see what's what.
Here's the list that I've got in the usb power exceeded box.
Level 0,My computer (2 ports)
Level 1, Generic usb hub (3 ports)
level 2, USB mass Storage device
Unused port
USB composite device.
Another entry for Unused port in bold.
I'm supposed to plug in the device in the unused port.
It doesn't make any sense though.
I've connected the keyboard to one of the usb 2.0 ports, to see if it makes a
difference. I get the same message as above.
I haven't installed the drivers on CD that came with keyboard as, the CD says
it's to be used for Win98, WinME, WinNT and Win2000. Not XP.
Does this mean a hardware upgrade is needed.
If anyone has an idea of what's going on, I'd like to know.
Thanks,
Justin
