if its all installed then you should be able to pick them up straight away

USB problem

Unplug it , put the card in and plug it back into the same usb port.
If you have istalled it more then once you may need to uninstall first.
USB is not the most stable of things even on XP.

Always try and use the same port for the device you attach.
