This is just the second wave of posts over the past month trying to solve this issue: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=32&threadid=189401 Any other ideas anyone?

Well, I am currently running two USB devices on my P3V4X, an Intel Web Cam, and a USB Wingman joystick. Both devices work extremely well, and I have not had any problems thus far with either!! Maybe I am just lucky!!

Worked fine with my Epson Perfection 1200u scanner and Kodak DC280 camera.

Rebels, curious did you install the Via 4-in-1 drivers?

You may want to check out the following Microsoft support article regarding USB devices, the Via USB controller and Win98SE.

My 932c printer works great, and I will hook up my Microtek c6 scanner to the other USB in just a sec

Have you tried installing the USB Filter 1.08 from VIA?

Heard this helped with USB problems.

No USB issues with my P3V4X. I'm running a Mustek scanner, Sandisk card reader and Microsoft game pad without any problems. I haven't installed any additional USB patches under Windows 98SE.

To answer your question JellyBaby, I did not install the 4-in-1 drivers, but I do have the 4.02 AGP driver installed.

 

[JellyBaby]

Rebels7, ok thanks. Someday I may add a USB device. Looks like install the 4 in 1s might be the way to go.

I currently have the p3v4x and I have a usb scanner, mouse, keyboard, camera, joystick and hub and have had no problems whatsoever.
I'm currently using 4.17 4 in 1 drivers.

every once in a while i get an out of memory error for my Epson 740 printer hooked up to USB. need to reboot to fix it. but that's the only problem i've had.

I have my cable modem, a scanner, a USB switchbox, a gamepad, and my compact flash card reader, and sometimes my digital camera hooked up to my USB ports. Everything works fine. I have not used the USB patch from VIA.

I've had just one problem and that was my USB ISDN interface ... after I installed the 1.08 patch from VIA it went away tho' Also have absolutely no trouble using my intellimouse explorer on the USB so... It works
