"Dan Moos" wrote in message news Hey gang, my USB flight yoke (CH Products Flight Sim Yoke LE) has a strange problem. When I boot up, it is fine, but if I don't use it for something like 5 minutes, it stops working completely. I have to unplug it, and plug it back in to get windows to re-discover it. Then all is fine. My CH Products USB rudder pedals have no such issue. Hi, Could it be that your system is dropping out the USB port to save power? If you have Windows XP, it could be a possibility because of XP's power management features. What you could try is going to the Hardware Device Manager in Control Panel, fine the entries called "USB Root Hub" in the Universal Serial Bus section. Right click on each, go to properties, then power management tab. Remove the tick from the option called "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" With that option turned off, the system cannot turn off your USB ports. It might not be the answer, but it is worth a try. Also, yokes often have problems when run through an ecternal hub. If you are running it via a hub, try hooking it directly the the USB ports on the back of the case. (i.e. the motherboard USB ports) -- Regards, Dean Bielanowski, RN. BNurs.
