<< What does it say when it yells at you? >>
well i'm sure exactly.. its kind of late and my brain no function so well.. but its something along the lines of: "this usb hub does not sufficient power to operate the following devices. XXX XXX, press okay to terminate the process" and then all my usb stops working unil i unplug everything and then just put one thing in at a time. I rarely use my keyboard as a hub though, becuase i have a real usb hub that is powered and doesnt yell at me. sometimes i'm just too lazy to reach around and plug things into it.
testing theory
ghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
(true, right now i have my keyboard plugged into the ps/2 thingy, and it has a seperate wire that goes to the usb outlet that goes to the hub .)
