Title: Works with one port / not the other
Product review: Using this to put a Webcam on the construction of my new home so I can follow it from the office. Using an ancient Pentium II laptop (uses very little power) running Win XP. When I plugged into the (single - yes, it's that old) USB port on my laptop the cable wasn't recognized, but when I used the port on the expansion base, it was. But the same thing applied when I plugged in my camera without the extension cord. My suggestion: before you complain about the cable, check and make sure it's not the power to the USB port on your computer. I could be wrong, but I have 2 of these cable (have had them for about a year now), and both work fine - as long I use the right port. I'm getting another one to extend the run so I can get a better view of the construction.
