Optiplex GX110 with external USB CD Writer - Problem

Zesore,

Welcome to the Dell Community Forum (DCF).
Do other USB devices work on all of the 110 USB ports?

Yes there is a USB Mouse on the other USB Port. I changed this device to the other Port and plugged the CD Writer on this Port, but it doesn't run.

System:

Optiplex GX110
Service Tag: LVEWF
Windows XP with all Updates (except SP2) and newest drivers (Chipset, Video, Audio, NIC...)

CD Writer: PLEXTOR PlexWriter PX-S2410TU, USB 2.0

Wenn i plug the Writer to the USB Port, the PC freeze. The only thing i can do is unplug the Power Cable. No Error Message, no Warnings.

This CD Writer functioned on the PC a few Weeks, but not anymore. I think i make a new XP Installation on this PC if no one has a good tip.

Regards Simon

You havent given ANY model or version or OS information like Service Tag, WIN9X/ME/2000/XP.
Nor have you said what kind of USB drive this is.

Nor have you defined "doesnt work" or given any error messages or any other information.

The GX110 doesnt have USB 2.0 ports.

Try Adding a USB 1.1 Hub with Power supply.

It could be a problem with the power (to less power from USB1.1)? We only have USB Hubs without Power Connection, so i will install a new GX280, then i think the Problem will be solved.
