Dale:  This really looks like an issue with your software.  I am not sure =
it is service pack related.  Does it seem like other USB devices work OK?

Yes it worked perfectly for a long time.
Also the strange is I have a dual boot system - both systems are Windows =

Professional.  I have installed service pack 2 on my main drive and it=20
won't recognise bookport.

The second version of XP is still at service pack 1 and it recognises=20
