Re: USB "safely remove hardware" causes my USB modem to reset

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Even with a USB-2 channel, connecting a ADSL modem is going
to consume a hefty portion of the channel's bandwidth. If your PC
has an Ethernet card/NIC - why not connect the ADSL modem
with an Ethernet cable and forget the USB connection ?

Did you check the USB Controller that serves the channel for the
modem and see how much bandwidth is being used. Double-Click
each Controller under the USB Device Manager category. It's under
the Advanced Tab for each Host Controller.
