Hey, I bought myself a creative labs mp3+ to use on my inspiron 8500. It's supposed to be powered from the usb port, it only requires 500ma which is what the usb ports supply according to the device property info of the usb port, yet it doesn't work! It works on every other single laptop and computer I've tried it on but not on the 8500... any ideas what's going on? It should have enough power going to it. I noticed a long list of problems and fixes for usb devices on the 8500, is there a big problem with the usb ports? Can I find a solution to my problem?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks...
