    Do I need to have a driver for my notebook cooler? It has four extra USB ports, thats the reason for buying it but every day I receive at least 2-3 BSOD's regaurding this notebook cooler. The messeage says something to the effect of " USB Bugcode error" or something like that, I haven't been able to find much help via google..do any of you know what I need to do? Also, could this notebook cooler's USB ports just be bugged or broken some how? I'm at a loss on what to do next, I may just scrap this cooler and buy a new one, if I do that do any of you have suggestions on a top quality one?

    if its a usb hub, as far as i know it should work without a problem. otherwise the cooler/usb hub is having an issue.

    Thats what I thought, perhaps I need to buy a new cooler? I have a Targus usb hub (4 USB ports)/cooler which I thought was a pretty good quality cooler but I guess not. Could someone recommend one better? I was looking at

    I read one of the reviews and It seems to be a little small, what would be a good size for a laptop such as the G1?
