USB2.0 via PCMCIA crashed my laptop
Hi,
I'm using a USB2.0 external DVD+-RW drive on my laptop via a PCMCIA USB2.0 adapter (since I only have USB 1.1) I can read from the drive fine, but any kind of write causes my laptop to lock up. Does anyone know what could be wrong? thanks for any help, John.

If I use the drive on the built in USB1.1 ports, it works fine (read and
write), it's just slow. John "J" wrote in message news:SRC9c.128$Me.112@newsfe1-win...

What OS are you using? If XP, you must have SP1 for USB 2.0, and there is
an update for that. Have you checked for a firmware or driver update for your device? Also, check all the settings for the drive, and see if anything jumps out at you.
