Bryan,
I know exactly how frustrating this is. I am not implying that I know what's
going on with your systems, but I have encountered the same error with other
plug-in hardware (NI and 3rd party). In my experience, this Device Manager symptom
points to some hardware issue - with one particular piece or interaction
between different sub-systems. This error really means that for some reason,
Windows OS treats this device as not having been [completely] initialized by
the BIOS. Again, I am not suggesting that this is what's happening here. Some
of us are looking at this issue and o brainstorming on what could possibly
cause this. In the meantime, can you please check the BIOS version on your Dell
system, and if you are running the latest one. Just for the record, I am not
suggesting that you blindly update the BIOS. I know what that means. Just
having the information might illuminate more angles from which we can observe
this problem.
Also, just for the record, this should not be happening.
