Why would attached USB2.0 Adapter Card disconnect occasionaly? 1

[qmacg]

I have a Windows 2000 machine. I purchased a USB2.0 Adapter Card that slides into the side of the laptop. Lately, a window popup will appear saying the adapter has been removed improperly and then I would have to restart the computer for the laptop to recognize that it is plugged in. I tried looking at the hardware screen when it is attached and it says the device is functioning normally. The Card seems to fit securely into the side of the laptop. Any help would be appreciated.

have you downloaded the latest drivers for the adapter?

The Drivers came with the card. I don't think they're the problem. Had the card for over 6 months and now am experiencing this problem.

I would visit the manufacture website and make sure that you have the latest drivers. The ones that ship with the product are properly out of date. Also if you have downloaded any new windows updates that can be the cause of your issue.
