Need help troubleshooting 2001fp's USB hub. I trie to use it with my mouse but mouse movement became all choppy and slow. Turns out, when I use mouse thru the usb hub on 2001fp, CPU usage increases by a wide margin - instead of usual 2-4%, CPU is loaded up to 50% and MORE!!! what is going on here? I plug the mouse back into the motherboard, and everything is back to normal but when I plug in the USB hub, cpu usage increases (even when nothing is connected to the hub). I checked all connections, and all cables are fine.
My specs: intel 875 board with latest intel chipset inf; p4 3ghz cpu, 1gb memory, and logitech mx510 mouse. Any suggestions or ideas?
Sounds like the USB driver isn't right. Are you using Dell's 2001FP monitor driver? I'm not sure, but I think Dell uses the default windows USB driver anyway. I think for some reason your windows USB drivers are loading incorrectly. I've seen things happen like what you're describing when USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 drivers get confused!
I got Dell's monitor driver but it does not have anything to do with the USB, and the USB hub is detected as "generic" each time I plug it in. As for drivers, I have WinXP sp1 with USB2.0 drivers as well as the latest Intel chipset driver, so that should take care of potential confusion, right?
What do u suggest to do to determine whether any problem with drivers? I geniunly suspect it has something to do with hardware, rather than software.
I have exactly the same problem. My CPU goes to 80% when the mouse is plugged into the 2001FP. Goes to 1% or so when connecting directly into the motherboard.
What is the solution to this problem? I have a new system so I seriously doubt the USB drivers are somehow wrong.
Bummer :( Because I am seeing the problem on my W2K3 Server and there are no USB patches currently available that I haven't already installed. Guess I gotta wait...
I solved it a while ago by installing some of the MS patches for WinXP pertaining to functionality of USB - just try updating windows and it will come up among non-critical updates.
