Please log in for more thread options In a sense, yea, the port could somehow have already decided it doesn't know
what this thing is and refuse to mess with it. Sort of like connecting a new
device, cancelling the driver install, and checking the don't try installing
this again box. I don't expect you did this, but it gets the same sort of
result. You connect the item again and nothing happens. The only way around
it, I believe is to dig into the device manager under USB while it is
connected and find the unrecognized device and uninstall it. Maybe then it
will see it as a new device. You at least need to get to the found new
device wizard, before you can know if the right stuff is available for the
SMT in your stock 3.8 install.
