A transcript of the console output would be handy. Note that the PnP probe message actually preceeds a pile of other things which can also fail; don't make the assumption that just because it's said "PnP" that that's what's going on. 8) > I was > wondering if anyone knew of a way to fix this, or if > it will be fixed in the base system, or if there is > some way to completely disable PNP in 4.2. There are no known problems with PnP in 4.2, so there's nothing that's going to be fixed unless we can characterise your problem here. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
