Rumma Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 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!Rumma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digerati Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Is it possible that the overcurrent condition is not fully managed in Windows 7 in terms of displaying the message?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.
