With all of the plugging, unplugging, and replugging that you’ve been doing with this Y-device, it’s possible that the pins on the connector have become dirty, bent, or intermittent. There’s another reason why I recommend that you try all of the USB ports. In other cases, they will go through the equivalent of an internal hub – they same kind of technology that we tried to bypass above.Įliminating the ports that may be giving you problems can make things better. Sometimes, they go through different hardware. Why? On some machines, USB ports can have subtle variations. You already did this, and while it improves the situation there’s still something going on.īecause you’re still seeing some problems with that device, I would actually recommend that you try all of the USB ports that are available on that computer. My first recommendation would normally be to connect your Y-adapter directly into one of the USB ports on your computer bypassing the hub. This may avoid some of the intermittent problems that hubs often introduce. In theory, everything should work just fine with hubs, but the reality can often be different. The path between your computer and your USB device gets complicated when a hub is in the middle of it. You tried a couple of things that I would normally recommend, but I can think of a few more that might help you in this scenario. The problem that you’re experiencing is not uncommon.

And yes, I reboot regularly, which has had no effect or improvement on the issue.
#Unlox foregt device everytime ps2
I’ve re-routed my PS2 USB cord directly to the computer’s USB port and this solved the five-to-ten minute problem, but I still need to unplug and replug the USB plug every day when I wake the computer up. The power supply to the monitor’s USB hub seems to be fine and the other USB functions seem to work fine as well. About a month ago, this issue suddenly became not just a daily problem, but even needed doing every five to ten minutes or so.

This would solve the problem for another week or two. Everything worked well for over a year – except that maybe once a week or two, they stopped responding with the computer wake up and I had to unplug and replug the USB plug. When I got this new Dell, I got a PS2-to-USB “Y”-adapter and plugged it into the monitor’s USB hub. I also have a PS2 keyboard and PS2 trackball, both of which I love and want very much to keep using. I have a monitor with a built-in USB hub (where the hub has its own power supply).

I have a year and a half old Dell XPS Desktop running Windows 7 (which is kept updated) that has no PS2 ports.
