![]() Gday guys, yet another problem has arose. After recently re-installing Windows XP Pro, and installing the right drivers for most devices - there is one that doesn't want to work. |

![]() Check to see who the manufacturer of the Drivers is - my bet is that it will say "Microsoft" - winXP likes to install the Microsoft driver versions. If so, kick those out, and install the manufacturers Drivers. |

![]() you said that you installed the drivers from teh CD, maybe you should remove them and allow Windows XP to install it's recommended ones to start with. |

![]() You might just be using outdated drivers that don't function particularly well with a more updated Win XP. Forget the CD and download the drivers offline. If you can't find them on the manufacturers website check out sites like drivermagic.com |

![]() Thanks for the offer I x I, but Ive FINALLY solved the problem. Like I said, I've just re-installed Windows. Friend of mine said to try updating. Previously done this and it said there wasn't much to update (must have done it wrong) as when I tried last night I had Service Pack 1 to install and very important driver update for USB which solved all my hassles. WOOT. Thanks to the lot of you for the guiding hand as to what it might've been. |

![]() I had a similar problem with a USB 2.0 PCI card. I spent days trying to find a solution. It functioned perfectly well as a USB 1.1 card, but simply would not operate in high-speed mode. |
