2nd Q: unsafe removal detection of USB device

Hello,

I'll admit my mistake first - I stupidly removed a device from a usb

hub that was working fine previously - without the safe removal option

-

The device is an external wifi plugin on a desktop - now it refuses to

work - and seemingly doesn't allow re-installing. This device -

Pheenet 802.11g USB wasn't assigned a Windows digital key - but it did

load up ok the first time - all the problems stem from me pulling it

from the hub.

Every time I re-install, all works fine for a few minutes, then an

'unsafe device removal' box appears and the wifi box and connection

disappear.

I have tried re-installing / fixing with the install disk / removing

drivers / different ports - but all to no avail.

Any ideas?

yours idiotically
