USB Hub Installation Problem

[speedyguy]

im trying to install a usb hub 1*4 device....its a completely plugn play device....but wen i plug in any usb device just one at a time works....
for eg. i 1stly plugged in my usb gamepad...it worked...then plugged in my usb pen drive....now both of em not working....
when i release usb gamepad....my thumb drive gets connected....so its like just one usb device is working.....though there r 4 ports...ne idea ne1...

ps: my system is p4 i845GV w/ usb 2.0 (2 ports)
one port is used up by this hub n other by mobile data cable (connected)...
thanx

cheers

Try to plug in two devices into alternate USB ports of ur Hub, even then if it is not working then then the internel USB circuitry of ur HUB is faulty which makes it work on 1 channel only.

Try to get it check with some of ur friend, if it works with ur friend then the problem seems to be with ur USB Hub controller drivers of ur OS but if not then try to get it replaced.

No additional drivers required. However what I'd request you to do is to try it at a friends place. Sometimes the OS creates a problem which no one can figure out.

Hope this helps.
