USB Receiver & Snowflake Emulation

[ridgerunner]

I am running Windows XP Pro SP3. I just installed a new All-in-Wonder
Graphics Card and ATI Catalyst. A USB receiver to use with the remote
control came with the package. When I plugged the receiver into a USB port,
Windows could not find a driver (in Windows, on the CD or the internet) and I
have an unknown device error in the device manager call "Snowflake
Emulation". I believe there is a fix out there for Windows XP Media Center
but I do not have a clue whether it would work with XP. I have searched
everywhere and I cannot find a resolution to this problem. Can anyone here
help?

For many USB devices, you have to install the software for it *first*,
before you attach the hardware. Unplug the ISB receiver, find the software
and install it. Connect the receiver only when the software tells you to.

Thanks Patrick. The software already installed.

What does the ATI support site say?

I could not find anything about this on their site.
