Why VISTA can't see my iPod through HUB

[Uncle Scotty]

Hi,

I am running VISTA home premium. On my previous machine, I was running
XP Home and connecting my iPod to the computer thru a powered HUB. It
worked fine, and iTunes recognized my iPod.

When I migrated to this new machine with VISTA, iTunes no longer sees
my iPod when it's connected, and I have to precariously connect it
through one of the USB ports on the face of the tower (since all the
ones in the rear are occupied).

Is this a security feature of VISTA or what else might be causing this
problem? Is there a work-around if you don't have enough internal, USB
ports?

Thanks, Scott

Do any other devices work when plugged into the hub? Does it charge the iPod
through the USB port in the hub, or does it not work at all with it?

Let's see- it does charge the battery but as I say iTunes doesn't
recognize it. And, I can say that my Dazzle Flash Card Reader is also
not recognized going through the hub... Hmmm... what does this
imply??
