Windows 7 and overcurrent

Hi!

I connect a device to USB port on a computer with Windows 7 installed. The device does not work, because it causes overcurrent. But no message "Power surge on hub port" appears in the system tray. The message appears in Windows XP. Is it possible that the overcurrent condition is not fully managed in Windows 7 in terms of displaying the message?

Thanks!

I guess it is possible but I would suspect it is a driver issue, and not the an OS issue. In any case, I would be hesitant to use that device. Over current conditions normally lead to overheating conditions, and may result in permanent damage.
