Thanks for the tip.
OK...here's something I was just reading on PC World's website...I've noticed lots of people shun "Hibernation" cuz they have a hard time getting their USB devices to work again after they start back up...
and now...THE FIX! (apologies to PC World for the quote)
Hibernation Blues
The Hassle: When my system comes back from hibernation or standby mode, some of my USB devices just keep on dozing.
The Fix: That happens because Windows XP wants to conserve power, so it turns off the USB root hubs. You can change the default setting: Open Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance (if in Category view), System, Hardware, Device Manager, and click Universal Serial Bus controllers. Double-click USB Root Hub, choose the Power Management tab, and then uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. Repeat this procedure with each occurrence of a USB root hub. On a notebook, this trick will cost you some battery life.

On the devices I have had this problem with, that did not fix it.
My solution is find another device.
