[Elecraft] Windows 7 configuration to allow seven USB 2.0 devices to work together in a multitasking enviorment?

solved all the power and USB hub problems here.

The internal power supply is good for 22W, plenty 'nuff for 8-9
power-hungry USB devices.

I've been exploring choices for some kind of USB management program that will allow me easier monitoring of all the USB connectivity devices.  Right now I get conflicting statements off the Windows 7 OS as it tries to deal with COM3, 4 and 5 together while the mouse and keyboard are attached via two other USB ports.  This is a DELL I5 small desktop.

Oh yes, and I'm scared to death of on line free solutions that most often piggy back other stuff you don't want on to the computer.  Yes, this OT wants to plug and play on the computer side so I can continue my focus on the application details.
