l The conflict between the dongle and certain recent versions of the McAfee and AVG virus scanners also occurs dongle driver problem.
l Occasionally, USB dongles are not being recognized in Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
l In rare cases, software fails to install the driver and new users need to run the dongle driver again.
l USB dongle devices are detected when they are first plugged in, but sometimes Windows will mark a device as bad if it cannot find the right drivers for it.
l Installation seems to hang while installing dongle drivers under certain circumstances - though it hasn't actually hung - it just takes several minutes to complete. Tt's unfortunately the drivers cause the delay and but not the software.
l Software vendors normally recommend to install the driver before connecting USB keys. If, however, uses have connected the USB key first, they may encounter problems with the dongle driver installation.
l An incorrectly installed dongle driver can produce license error messages. The dongle driver is a piece of software that communicates between IDL/ENVI and the hardware key attached to USB port. If an IDL-based product produces a dongle licensing error message, the dongle driver may need to be re-installed or updated."
