have you updated your drivers recently? i have a dell 610 and i had problems when running server. it would not pick it up. i will be using a dell desktop in the train room so i transfered it to this and it worked fine. try using driver genious to update your drivers. the dell 600 and the 610 are now very outdated. have you tried installing the softwre from both disks and also download the software from the lenz site.

first try to update the USB drivers (suck eggs moment)

two options

1

press start

right click on computer

left click on properties

(may differ with operating system)

select device manager  The Device Manager is under Hardware in Properties.

then select the USB drivers, right click and then select properties and update driver   There is no listing for USB drivers as such in the device manager

use the internet to update the drivers

2

do the same as above but for the last step select the usb driver the select action (at top) and delete. then select action again and scan for new hardware. this should then pick up the usb and install the drivers.

PM sent also    Got it, thanks.

Have now learnt that ftdibus.sys is part of the USB2 system. You say all is working on another PC. Are they both USB2 or is the other one USB1 ?

As Matt says, you may have an older version of the USB drivers than the L1 wants to use when working at USB2 speeds.

Hope you find the problem soon.

Max if you go to the site where either the computer or motherboard is made by the usb2 drivers should be there
