I have a special CCD camera that I installed and worked fine at work. The other day I wanted to use it again and it would not work. I got a message with new device detected, but I cancelled the lame XP attempt to locate the drivers since I knew the camera worked fine before.
I was wrong. It turns out each time I connect the camera to another USB port, I have to re-load the driver. So I have to log out, log back in as Administrator (and thanks God I have a friend in the IT dept and he enabled a local admin account for me, a no-no otherwise) and the reload the damn driver, all because first time I have the camera hooked up to a USB port on the monitor and this time I wanted to move the laptop to another location and I didn't want to drag the external monitor along.
What a mess. I never saw a device before where you had to reinstall the driver if you changed the USB port. Otherwise the camera is awesome, high resolution, 60 fps, lost of controls.
