Why are USB-connected items repeatedly being disconnected and connected?
This started with the SD card in its little slot. I finally pulled it >>half-way out and that stopped that.
But now I see that the mouse is doing the same thing, even though I
haven't noticed the mouse ever not working. The mouse is connected
through a 4-outlet hub, but so are the keyboard and one other thing I
can't remember right now. :-(
Is it just a bad connection? I've changed which port I'm using. The >>laptop itself doesn't have enough ports to not use a hub.
I have the same thing, but with Windows XP.

It has a printer and a (mostly switched off) external hard drive (with
its own power supply).
If I plug in a USB flash drive at just the right moment of boot-up, it >connects, but sometimes it doesn't. Then I book in safe mode, shut
down, switch off, and try again. Or, if I take out the flash frive and
plug it into the computer directly, it sometimes works.
