Win2k USB - only one device showing up in device manager
I'm using two USB to video adapters on my Win2k SP2 workstation.
Only one is showing up in device manager.
I have two programs and I want to use one of the devices for each program.
I start the first program and no problem.
It finds a USB device and starts up normally.
When I start the 2nd program it tries to latch onto the same device as the 1st program and I get an error msg. Then I have to manually point to the 2nd device.
I think this behavior is because only one shows up in device manager but that is only a guess.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can you give us some vendor info ?
In addition, try to change the order of the 2 devices.
One more thing. If they draw too much current, you may need a seperate powered USB HUB to get both to work.
I hope this helps !

I haven't gone any further on this and it has since ceased to be an issue since I only use one device most of the time. Thanks for your input.
