Updates are current.
OK, I plugged the USB in the back of the dell vostro 200 (yes it worked with Windows 7 although the front USB did not) and put the new 2.3.3, now it works in all ports front and back- it also works in all ports of the Acer Aspire One. This is strange. It does want to scan the kindle and I am not letting it, everything opens fine. It recognizes it as an amazon kindle and loaded a driver I think.

So maybe there is a change in 2.3.3, since it now works in two computers running Windows 7 where it did not before (although it did work in the back of the Dell running windows 7) (thanks for the tip).
