3. I log in the same way I would at any location

I am a school photography manager and for whatever reason at these three schools I can't connect to my camera and the bar code reader won't work as well as the ID printer. All the ports just stop working and I get the "not recognized" message.


I tend to leave my computer on most of the time so I don't shut it down before I get to the school usually. So for example I was at Pecos Elem. on Wednesday and the USB ports would not work even after I re-booted twice. I left the computer running but it was closed. I did NOT turn it off before I got home but instantly at my house the USB ports worked again. As I said the computer was never shut down between the school and my house yet I got two completely different reactions from the USB ports. It's been eight months since I was last at this school and had the same problem last spring and last fall. There are two other schools that I have this problem with EVERY time I am there. 98% of locations I do not have this problem.

Hope that helped?
