Hello Art
My laptop is made in the 2005 and therefore is fitted with USB2.0 .
ports and not the USB Version 1.1 ports(It was also stated in the
technical specs);therefore there is something weird if it keeps saying
such whenever I run and external USB hard drive from that USB hub?

That make some sense , but these are not accesible externally .. or is
still considered free to use as its already connected to other
devices. ,,,

Did you try running the device directly from the laptop USB port. If you
don't get the warning, you should try a different USB hub.

Hi Terry, it was okey( runs normally with no warning) if I run the
devices from the Laptop USB port; but not with an externally powered
USB hub.
