| When I installed USB support on my desktop using the latest drivers and Convenience Pack 4.52 I had a dialog box popup and display that a device had been attached and that the device was now drive X every time I plugged in a device. Somehow that has stopped working and I cannot get it back. Does anyone know what controls the functionality of that dialog box. I have downloaded other tools (namely USB Resource Manager and umountd but they are not nearly as convenient). I really need a dialog to popup indicating the drive letter assignment of the USB device. Any thoughts? |

| The latest USBMSD driver package will usually install a program called USBMON.EXE into \os2\boot, and a program reference icon into your startup folder. Be careful when reinstalling USBMON, there are existing 2 different programs both called USBMON.EXE: One is for the USB mass storage and one for USB printers. |

No they are identical (naturally they differ in version), but for the Printer a (no longer necessary with recent USBMON) switch was used. Having one USBMON in startup is completly sufficient. But what you have to take care is: Older version get installed in \OS2 newer ones in \OS2\BOOT, or is the other way round ? So verify that the newest one is used. |

I have to disagree. I had a quick look into the source code (DDK) of the newer USBMON. This one is for mass storage only, no code for creating WPS printer objects in it. |

You are right. Sorry. What a stupid ideaby IBM to name both identical. But if it helps, my USB printer works fine without the *Printer* USBMON. |

| With my USB Canon S300 printer, I installed a regular printer to the lpt1 port then switched/added an USB port then changed the printer driver for my printer. My USB printer works great.
