It does not give that option. It just says "Do you want to activate now?" With "Yes" or "No" buttons. Yes it acts like its going to do something and freezes or reboots. No it logs out of windows.

My dig camera shuts my PC off

I do get a BSOD, but its a generic one that tells me nothing. And I only ruled out grounding because both dig cameras work fine in any other PC. And all the ports on the PC work fine with any other USB device, thumb drive, external HD, mouse, kb, etc.

My dig camera shuts my PC off

Trust me I agree. They are so stubborn in there ways they want it to work the way they're used to. New info if I plug it in through a simple non powered hub, it works. I tried a pci usb card though, no luck. So I assume some kind of driver conflict issue
