Review title: Worse than useless
Product review: This device instantly caused my laptop to freeze whenever a USB device was attached to it. This was absolutely a hard freeze, with no response to anything except the power button. I'm aware of the issue that if a USB device requires too much power, this can happen UNLESS (supposedly), you have the external power supply connected. I checked, and the supplied external supply was connected, and working correctly. I never got this product to work AT ALL with an HP Pavillion laptop running Windows XP. You'd think HP would at least test it on their own models.Another reviewer mentioned mouse probelms. A USB mouse has become erratic on this same machine recently. I hadn't connected it with the HP adapter, but maybe the HP driver is causing a problem with other USB devices.
