SYMPTOMS
Windows 95 may stop responding (hang) if an over current condition is
detected from a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device. Over current conditions
can occur when a USB device is "hot plugged" (or plugged in while the
computer is on) into the computer.
CAUSE
Windows 95 may not clear the over current status in the USB hardware. This
causes Windows 95 to service the same over current condition multiple
times.
RESOLUTION
STATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit
