Hello, James Thank you very much for your response. More than that, you are the first person that has given any creedence to the thought that I've had about this matter: that there might just be something wrong with the cable/ports that connect to the USB2 bus. Things are working as they are supposed to now (our scanner and our burner are both in the front ports, so I should have no need of rebooting soon :)) but sometime tomorrow, I plan on shutting down our computer and switching the cables. I will leave both USB2 devices in the same ports they are in now. Theoretically, both devices SHOULD eventually "dissappear" I will get back to you with the results. Thanks again :) Like I said, your thoughts confirm my suspicions. Have a Great Day Steven P. Ulrick
