Sorry to contribute to traffic with this, but I would very much appreciate =
an announce list for updates. I wish I had time to remain on this list =
because it is worthwhile. But I, and probably many others, not only use =
time to locate update info on this list, but also I get a notification of =
incoming ail that can take maybe 15  seconds to clear -- something that =
disrupts my train of thought.

So, thanks to Larry, Rob, etc. for working on an announce list.

Hi Tiffany.

What other USB devices do you have on that computer?

Once you get that message about the device not beging recognized, you =3D
should be able to see some device in the Device Manager (while Book Port =
=3D
is still connected).  Are you not seeing anything there that might be =3D
related?

Hello. I will try to address everyone's email here, where they were =3D
responding to my initial post about Book Port not being recognized.
First, I did as one person said, where I went into the system and removed =
=3D
the items which said they were USB storage devices, They didn't use those =
=3D
words exactly, but I can't think of the correct terminology at the moment. =
=3D
I also did as another person said, to look for any mp3 players or tts or =
=3D
something devices, but as they were not found, I did not have anything to =
=3D
removed in order to be rerecognized.  Additionally I pulled out the RJ45 =
=3D
cable which connects me to the network and rebooted periodically between =
=3D
each step.
Still, the Book Port is not being recognized by my computer. The only =3D
other suggestion I saw in reference to my problems was to reassign the =3D
drive letter associated with the Book Port, but as that it isn't being =3D
recognized, it doesn't appear in the list, in order for me to reassign it. =
=3D
This is not just in the control panel under system and administrative =3D
tools, but also in Windows Explorer and My Computer.=3D20
Finally, I'm guessing it doesn't make a difference as far as getting help =
=3D
with this recognition problem, but I did update the Book Port transfer =3D
software on both computers, and via the laptop I updated the firmware.=3D20=

It's still working perfectly with the laptop, and not though the transfer =
=3D
program appears to be working on the desktop, as far as finding and cueing =
=3D
things up, but it still tells me the Book Port is not connected. I'm sure =
=3D
this is not a problem with the program because when I plugged in the USB =
=3D
cable earlier, a message pops up saying one or more USB devices on this =
=3D
computer are not recognized.
Any other suggestions? I would really like to get this thing working =3D
directly on the desktop and bypass the transferring through the laptop.
Thanks again.
