Have you followed these instructions?

If so, it might be the USB cable. Try different ones as well as different USB ports.

Hi,

let me summarize to verify if I understood that correct. The display functions with the new Win7 PC when you use an old hub, but not directly connected or with a new hub. It does also function with your old Vista laptop, directly connected or with hub.

If that is correct I would say that your new PC has problematic USB ports.

So ultimately this entire issue comes down to problematic USB ports from the best of your knowledge?

I think the fact that it works with a hub rules out driver compatibility issues and assembly mistakes on the board itself.

Note that “new PC” doesn’t necessarily mean “better components than old PC”.

Do you have any alternative explanations?
