PCWorks: USB problem

I have a device that is recognized on one of my computers
using the 
Windows XP while the other computer will not recognize this
device. It 
will recognize other devices though. I was going to delete
the USB items 
in the device manager but because I am using wireless
Logitech keyboard 
and mouse I would be unable to use the computer anymore.
When I install 
the device then go to device manager it shows up as
"unknown device" and 
I have tried installing other drivers but nothing seems to
help. There 
is no software with the device. (the device is a Iway 350
gps)
Thanks

Get tweakui and make sure you have enough drives enabled
under My Computer.

In some cases a drive letter is over-written and can't be
used again 
after a USB device is connected.
I'm not sure why this should be so, but it's helped other
people in the 
same situation.

I tried that Hugh and found that all my drives were turned
on. I just 
tried the device again and all I get is the USB device not
recognized 
message and when I click the message nothing show up in the
window. When 
I go to the device manager and try to look at the USB info
the winddow 
jumps vertically and you can't read it.
Strange thing and so far restarting and restoring to a
latter time does 
not work.

With the power off on the iWay, connect to the usb.  Then
turn on the 
power.  I have an iWay 500 and was able to do the update on
mine without 
a problem, but have not connected again.  I do find on some
devices, 
that having the power off (make sure that any usb
connections that have 
the yellow exclaimation mark are removed before you make the
connection) 
when connecting and then powering up will help.

What do you get in Disk Management?
I note at the Lowrance site that the device is supposed to
be turned on 
before it's plugged in.
