My Acer Aspire 3610 has 3 USB ports on the LHS, and one on the rear. When I originally set up Starry Night, I used one of the ports to connect the lappy with my SkySensor2000. By trial and error, I ascertained that it was port 4, and labelled it as such. A few weeks later, when I came to connect SS2K, the laptop decided that this port was now port 3! OK, for the past year it has been port 3 every time I have used it, until last night, when I couldn't make a connection. As rain threatened, I packed up in disgust, and went indoors. This afternoon, I decided to check out the problem, and again by trial and error, I have determined that the port is now number 8!!
What gives? How can these ports change of their own accord? Will it change again at the equinox, and again with the next full moon, or will it wait until Jupiter is in Sagittarius, and miraculously change again?:screwy:
If there is a computer psychiatrist out there who can shed some light on the means by which this can happen, I should be most grateful.
