is there a problem with my device manager in black hole 1.7.6

I would suggest you try another image - as already previously suggested.

prob worth trying a different image than blackhole to see if the problem goes away - you can always back up your existing image if you don't like the ones you try out.

as i just tried to use BH 1.7.8

BH 1.7.8 is very heavy on the box ,I agree with sim0nw about the bh 1.7.6 ,which is why he suggested it ,,its the one I use on a regular basis too..
As far as the box crashing ,,, this could be for a number of reasons which are all listed in the vu support threads.
Suggestion ,try to learn to walk before you run.;
for example ,backups have been made by users who have taken the time to make it easier for other users to not have to.( spend the hours)
These backups have been tried and tested out by the makers ( and sometimes other users ) before they are released ..
If anything goes wrong for another user its usually down to "accidently" altering it..

No worries,, best way to learn + find things out is by trying them yourself,, read the other users posts to get a heads up on what has worked/works ,etc..
there is even a post about favourite addon/plugins.. if you are interested... it´s all there..

Mines crashed once like i went into device manager changed location then saved and boom crashed but wen i went back in after crash it was mounted.

Does that happen with u

Ok the way i would connect and mount any external device is :

With the box switched on,not in standby,

plug the usb plug of your device into a spare port on the box

press the blue button twice

select device manager

you should see your device listed,select it and press the red button to mount it.

select what you want to monut it as, ie HDD

It will as you to reboot the box,do this.

Once the box has rebooted go back into device manger and you should see your device mounted.

Ive only recently got my 1st solo whcih is running BH 1.7.6

im starting to wonder whether there is an issue with my device manager.

too many times when i go into it to check the USB or HDD that are connected to the box, its crashes.

again yesterday i had my HDD plugged into the front USB port & it was working fine.

put box on standby, unplugged HDD & plugged into rear USB port

turned box back on.

box then does not see HDD

I rebooted the box via the menu & still cant see HDD

went to device manager to see if HDD had been mounted & it crashes.

too often when i go into device manager i am getting this

at the moment i have no HDD connected as the box is not seeing the HDD which only yesterday was fine.

any ideas
