My issue was solved by 'powering' the hub with an external 5v adapter (I actually have an MBeat 7 port hub).
Since it has been powered I have not had an issue. My understanding is a port only gets a small amount of power from the computers USB port....couple that with long USB cable runs and the associated current loss and you end up not having enough power to run everything that is plugged in. A powered hub obviously fixes that....it worked for me!

Thanks for sharing your experience.
It helps to know others have had similar problems.
My hub is powered but it was cheap so maybe a better one.
Time is my main problem but I know everything will work out somehow.
Thanks for your input I really do appreciate you taking the time.
