Well, I'm back from my annual jaunt on the Camp Quality esCarpade - an outback motoring adventure raising money for Camp Quality - a charity that brings fun and laughter, hope and optimism to children living with cancer and their families!
The grand total I raised this year was $10673.05, and the total raised for the event was just over $1.14M.
I had a week of trials and tribulations in my '64 Falcon, all caused by the most ridiculous thing you can imagine.
Check out my blog at http://boogermobile.blogspot.com[^] for a full rundown of the week!!

After having installed it the other day, I have noticed this evening that my Belkin networked USB hub no longer can be seen, so my printer and scanner don't connect.
Quick Google finds reference to the problem and a response from belkin acknowledging the problem. Someone else posted a work around, but it didn't work for me.
Think a longer USB lead may have to suffice in the short term. 
|
|
|
|
|
Is that a Win 8.1 fail or a Belkin fail? Could it be Belkin didn't implement their hub correctly?
|
|
|
|
|
Don't know, but it worked fine on 8.
|
|
|
|
|
Does it show up in device Mgr. ?
|
|
|
|
|
No, but don't know if it did before.
It doesn't even show up in the Hub Control Centre...All the firewall rules are still in place, it looks like it has something to do with the upnp drivers associated with the hub.
|
|
|
|
|
It may have got messed up on the upgrade. or the driver could have been disabled.
My best guess with out looking at it would be to try a reinstall of it.
Ive had to do that with some USB printers on occasion.
or possibly unplug it from the computer, turn the power off to hub,reboot the computer, turn power back on to it, then plug usb cable back into the computer in that order.
|
|
|
|
|
Done all that. T?he workaround that I found on Belkin support site has shown that the driver is active.
Hopefully Belkin will get after it before they start getting more complaints as others continue to upgrade from 8 to 8.1

Do you still have the link to the work around I would like to look into it.

These files downloaded do not apear to be as new as they make out by the date on the download page.
One file Svlscapi.dll which appears to be a service controler is not digitly signed.
Then Sxuptp.sys located in sx-virtual_link_win_3120\s-33a3120\Files\Bin\Sxcsapi\WinVistaX64
When trying to view the imports thru a EXE viewer it outputs jibberish it may possibly be corrupted or protected in some way. But this one does have a digital signature.
it is supposed to run as a (Kernal)service. SXUPTP Driver.
you might check and see if that service is disabled as well.
I have a few in house tools for listing some info about drivers and services if you want them.
Just send an email, not sure if they will help or not.

Last I heard, the definition of "correctly" was not "works with every OS in the world except Win 'ate".

I've had hardware, including some from otherwise reputable companies, that appeared to work only by chance. In one case, it worked only with Windows 98. (I currently have a USB gaming device which worked great on Win98 and kindof worked on XP [XP popped up errors that it wasn't recognized, but it still worked for some reason], haven't tried it on Windows 7. I should.)

True, but he continues to shoot during and after the crash, then he checks on his mates and goes back to his camera.
I would possibly have gone for a change of clothes instead.

So now that a few of the die hards have probably been running with VS2013 for a while now and have been running the final release since it became available last week, is it in you opinion safe to uninstall VS2012?
Or is there something fundamentally broken that says "no hang onto VS2012 that bit longer"?
(I'm talking about PRO versions if that makes any difference).
Cheers,

No matter what versions of VS I've used, be it Express or Ultimate I've had nothing but problems trying to uninstall Visual Studio/other stuff it installs.
When I upgraded to VS2012 I did a fresh intall of Windows 7 just so I didn't run into the problems you hear about from having two versions installed.

My problem with that approach is I can never remember which order to install VS and SQL in - and I know that when I get it wrong, it mucks everything up and I have to start again...
