Man, this is a serious issue.
I just installed the new UNO on my windows 7. You know, I installed the ArduinoUNO.inf. And for some reason it now fails to recognize my mouse, my external HD,..
The arduino works fine, but the rest...
It still powers it but fails to connect to it.
Does anyone have a clue what to do?
Thanks in advance!

What happens is that things like USB ports are often 'alive' when the PC is shut down. Sometimes they crash and because they remain powered they stay in the crashed state and the operating system can't communicate with them. They don't have any option but to shut down when you deprive them of power. 25 years in the trade.....
