I don't have any USB hard drives tho. I do have a couple USB sticks and they work fine as well. The ONLY thing that gives me problems is cameras and the camera software. Everything else works fine. I do find it odd that two totally separate programs crash when accessing the camera tho. Thing is, I have used different cameras with the same results. I always tell it before I disconnect so it can sync and make sure everything is safe. Any more ideas? Thanks for the help. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
