Version 3.173 = USB Device Not Recognized

[john h]

Just installed ver 3.173 - Should have read
the postings first!!  Now the computer
keeps giving "USB Device Not Recognized"
when I plug the interface into the USB
port.  Active Home Pro does not "see" the
interface anymore.  I see others have
reported this.  Anyone figured out how to
fix this?

Some progres on my own question.  Seems the
problem is not Ver 3.173.  Look at the
question by KEL on the CM15A clock problem
in the "Genersl Comments" forum.  After I
downloaded the new version of software, I
unplugged my interface for a FEW SECONDS to
plug in the USB cable to add a new timer.
Apparently the CM15A DOES NOT keep proper
time when unplugged from an outlet
(batteries were brand new).  When this
happens, the clock gets off and when you re-
connect to computer, you get "USB Device
Not Recognized"  - apparently related to
the interface clock.  After reading the
posts to KEL's question, I removed the
batteries, re-connected to computer and
everything worked as normal.  Apparently
there is a serious hardware problem with at
least some of the CM15A Interface Modules
where the clock does not run properly on
batteries.  Read the posts to KEL's
comments - Over 80 reports of timers not
working simply by moving the Interface to
another outlet - even with fresh batteries!
