Present system: Epox 8K3A+
Award 6.00PG 9/16/06 bios (latest)
Microsoft XP home 5.1.2600, all updates incl SP1
AMD 2.1+, DDR-SDRAM 2x256 PC2700
Works great, very stable, USB 1.1 works ok.
I am trying to install a PCI to 2.0 USB adapter, I tried 2 different
manufacturers, Kouwell 2580N4 and Belkin F5U220. Neither will install,
I get the windows 'cannot install' message whether I use the mfgrs
drivers or not. Kouwell tried also, over the phone, but no help.
It was suggested that I update the bios, I did, to the latest version
- no help. Any other suggestions?

If the message following "cannot install new hardware" is "Data Invalid",
try this link (it was passed on to me a couple days ago, same problem only a
firewire card):
