The PC needs to reload the driver software into system memory if a different USB port was used from the one used during the initial installation. Any time the DAL 150 is plugged into a different USB port from the initial installation (e.g., using the second port on a computer with two ports or switching from the docking station to the port directly in the laptop or vice versa), the Windows® operating system will need to reload the driver in order to associate it with the new port. If you have misplaced your CD-ROM, you can specify the driver location as C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, with some folders having different names depending on the version of the operating system installed on your PC. Or, when it is convenient, you may copy the contents of your CD-ROM into a location you choose on your hard drive so that the files are available for use at a later date.
