I had this problem once and discovered that it was my USB cable that went bad. As soon as I got a new one, it worked fine. HTH Mark ASK, "WHAT GOALS WOULD YOU SET FOR YOURSELF IF YOU COULD NOT FAIL?" Don't ask if it's possible or impossible. Don't worry about failing. Focus on what you want, and let that be your guideline. ----- Original Message ----- From: mtatro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 8:38 PM Subject: [bookport] usb problem Hi all I've had my bp for about a year with very few problems , but all of a sudden when I plug in the usb cable I get a USB device not recognized . nothing has changed on my system I reformatted the card but it still won't work .
