The path between your computer and your USB device gets complicated when a hub is in the middle of it. You tried a couple of things that I would normally recommend, but I can think of a few more that might help you in this scenario.

The problem that you’re experiencing is not uncommon. And yes, I reboot regularly, which has had no effect or improvement on the issue. I’ve re-routed my PS2 USB cord directly to the computer’s USB port and this solved the five-to-ten minute problem, but I still need to unplug and replug the USB plug every day when I wake the computer up. The power supply to the monitor’s USB hub seems to be fine and the other USB functions seem to work fine as well. About a month ago, this issue suddenly became not just a daily problem, but even needed doing every five to ten minutes or so. This would solve the problem for another week or two. Everything worked well for over a year – except that maybe once a week or two, they stopped responding with the computer wake up and I had to unplug and replug the USB plug. When I got this new Dell, I got a PS2-to-USB “Y”-adapter and plugged it into the monitor’s USB hub.

I also have a PS2 keyboard and PS2 trackball, both of which I love and want very much to keep using. I have a monitor with a built-in USB hub (where the hub has its own power supply).

I have a year and a half old Dell XPS Desktop running Windows 7 (which is kept updated) that has no PS2 ports.
