I actually have a 200mhz machine sitting here that has always done this. I've never seen it cause any problems, and I've never had any suggestions on how to stop it either. My best guess is that the chipset responds slowly to probes, thus it takes a while to get the list of devices from it. However, I've never looked into it any more than that. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
