I had already unplugged the mouse from the back of the computer to test the cybook in that port BECAUSE I WANTED ONE I KNEW WORKED. It didn't work.

I was thinking about the ehci and uhci. There are four universal controllers and only one enhanced controller listed in my device manager. So I was wondering if they are connected to specific ports. So I thought I'd try each and every port in the back of the computer, just for the heck of it.

After blowing gobs of dust out of the way, I started plugging, and sure enough one of them recognizes the cybook.

I never had any idea that the ports were different. I figured if I tried one, they'd all be the same. I mean, they ARE directly in the computer, not external as some people had mentioned.

But anyway. There you go. The saga of learning to try every single port.

Thanks for everyone's help.

HOORAY!!! I *WON* the PRIZE!!! Now, please tell me, what did I win??? (I'm hoping for a Booby Prize! )

But what really makes me happy is that you've found a USB port which will recognize your Cybook - and that you can now use your Cybook as intended! Way to go!

Have fun reading.
