I'm trying to set up a crappy Dell for one of our customers who's gonna buy a setup. Everything is good, all the software I have to install works with no hitches. But sometimes, and it seems to happen completely randomly, Windows will give me the bubble pop-up "a USB device has exceeded its power limit for its hub" or some crap like that... has anybody ever seen this before?
The strangest thing is, THERE ARE NO USB HUBS ATTACHED TO THIS MACHINE! The only USB devices attached to the Dell is the printer (Epson C88), and we use a keyboard/mouse combo w/the little touchpad on it. I'm thinking one of two things:
1.) Something is jacked up with the motherboard itself; or,
2.) It's a keyboard/mouse combo, yet there's only 1 USB plug coming out of it. I haven't taken it apart yet to look, but I'm thinking maybe there's some sort of mini-USB hub inside the thing, and THAT'S the hub windows is crying about.
Anybody have any ideas on this???
