Machine doesnt power up without memory card.
Randy,
Yes memory card has to be in the machine for the LED display to come on when you power up. You should always turn power off when removing it or putting it back in.

USB V2.0 Complient ports may be required
Question - is your computer an older model with V.1.0 USB ports? I would suggest installing a version 2.0 complient card. You will get speed plus power.
The software worked on my system without any problem, but all my ports are 2.0 and powered. I had a similiar problem in the past with a V.1.0 external drive. The port did not provide power to the drive. Problem was resolved when I upgraded my USB card.
