Hello.

First off, don't tell me to get USB overdirve.

I have a Rev A iMac 233 64mb of RAM and Mac OS 9.1 Puck Mouse, The keyboard it came with a Cheap PC keyboard and a Micro Connections Keyboard. Along with a Microsoft Intellimouse Exploer. The Prob
started with 9.0.4 got worse around the time up upgradded.

Ok the problem... My keyboard and mouse go out every so often. Along with my Wacom Tablet and Printer and Sony Spressa CD-RW.
And my Entega USB hub that had worked GREAT since I got this iMac.

They just drop off the radar so to speak.

They will go out, Then I hear a little HD movement. then it works again.... Sometimes.... Other times I have to maualy disconnect and reconnect it. Sometimes it wont load when plugging it back in yet the comp is not froze cuz I can see a Banner moving or a file still DLing. or if just say the jeyboard or just the mouse goes out I can still use the other....

This is very VERY annoying. And Apple is pissing me off with the fact that I can't Use the DIsscusion boars at apple site no more. and half the support stuff has to be payed for....

Also, this stuff happens with any combonation of Ways to connect (Hub no hub keyboard and hub etc...) and it happens when just the mouse and key board are plugged into each of the 2 ports on the side of the iMac.

I really really really need help .

Hi
I had the same problem with my IntelliMouse, and here's how i solved it: sitting in front of my computer, shut this extension off, restart, enable it again, then the next one... unfortunately, i can't remember which one was causing this problem...
