OK, all...it WAS a Friday the 13 Gremlin. This last time I docked, I got the double-chime of the device not being recognized. Now, mind you, this device DID NOT show up in my Device Manager all day. But on a hunch, I decided to check on last time...sho' 'nuff, there it was, but with the exclamation point over it. I uninstalled the device, unplugged it, then plugged it back in...an lo! Device recognized...
Dunno what happened or why...
I appreciate your help...have a great day...
