USB HUB problem.

[willhub]

Hi.

I have a 4 port USB hub, on my laptop, and my parents desktop PC, the hub works, but for some reason, when I plug it into my PC, the red light comes on, this tells me it is getting power, but apart from that, no activity on screen is seen.

I have checked device manager, and nothing comes up there, and no installing drivers notification comes up also.

I thought that after re-installing windows the problem would be corrected, but I was wrong, for some reason, the problem is still persiting and I have no idea what it could be.

Anyone have any clues?

Thanks.

I've tried every port, still ain't working.

It's not a power issue as it works fine on my laptop and my parents computer downstairs.

It is not a power issue. The hub used to work on the SAME PC, just randomly stopped one day.

This PC is the most powerful of the 3 and had USB 2.0 hubs and I've had the hub for years.

The cable is fine.

I re-installed Windows and it's still not working.

Same cable.
