there are indicators that some Windows USB drivers are buggy.

I've been reading more and more reports of this in computer magazines, so you might not be far off. I can't remember if it was Machrone, Berst, Dvorak, or somebody else who recently wrote an article about it. It seems that some combinations of motherboard, OS, and USB device will have troubles. It seems that USB isn't perfect (GASP).

As I understand it, it can often be the system BIOS and its handling of USB that's at issue. Some people might be able to cure their problems by going to the website of their computer/motherboard manufacturer and obtaining flash BIOS patches or updated Windows USB drivers.

Of course, that doesn't explain why some people had no trouble up until a recent software release. But I'd be curious to know if this helps anyone.
