Could operating system make a difference? Or am I just crazy? LOL
I suspect that Windows7 is probably why you and the threadstarter are having issues.
I would almost bet there is some kind of power saving feature at work that may be disconnecting the link between your device and your pc. Check all the power settings of your OS and also the power saving settings of your pc's BIOS to see if something is set to sleep or hibernate your usb connections.
