Assertion Failed in WDMTX.c Log file attached

We just recentlty started getting failed messages from one of our two AnywhereUSB/5 Devices.

The attached device is an Epson Expression 1680 Scanner. It had been working fine for a little over a year. Then this last week started having trouble. When it would connect the scanner would start and as soon as tx starts it would reboot. I direct plugged the scanner into the same computer and it works flawlessly.

Error Log: Saw errors, no time stamp so unsure as to how old the original entries were so I saved and cleared the eent log if you want I can send it, and allowed it to start fresh.

It seems to stay connected without any devices plugged into it, but what good is that. :0

Hello Larry,

“What changed” around the time that this issue started happening, last week? For example, did Windows Update recently run? Was another USB device connected to the AnywhereUSB in question? Something else?

>> “When it would connect the scanner would start and as soon as tx starts it would reboot.”

Please give me more details about the symptoms.

  1. What exactly do you mean by “when it would connect”? Do you mean, clicking the Connect button in the AnywhereUSB Configuration Utility? Or something else?

  2. What exactly do you mean by “the scanner would start”?

  3. What would reboot? The AnywhereUSB? If so, what exactly suggests that? For example, did you see the lights on the front panel suddenly all turn off then turn back on (similar to if you pulled the power adapter from the AnywhereUSB then plugged it back in)? Did the AnywhereUSB suddenly disappear from the AnywhereUSB Configuration Utility and then re-appear?

For now, don’t worry about the info in the AnywhereUSB Event Log. I appreciate it but it’s better to troubleshoot based on what you’re actually seeing - the actual / real symptoms.

Maybe if you can describe exactly how you generally “use” the scanner, and how it’s behaving now compared to in the past, that would be helpful. The more descriptive the better!
