Let me give you the simple answer to your question. It was, "How do I check
this [Plug 'N Play], and if it needs enabling, how do I do it?"
If your system was asking you for drivers when you plug in a new USB device
then your Plug 'N Play (PnP) is working. Simple as that. If PnP was not
working then a new USB device wouldn't matter to Windows. Windows NT 4 is a
good example of that.
Now I guess your problem is that when you plug in DIFFERENT USB devices
using the same port Windows wants you to tell it where the drivers are.
This is called a Hardware change. Even though the drivers are correctly
installed you are going to get this Hardware Change notice. You should be
able to jusk OK through the prompts using the existing installed drivers.

I have a problem with USB devices - if I plug in a 'new' USB device, it
always asks me for the driver. Someone asked if I had 'Plug and Play'
enabled. The answer is - I'm not sure !
How do I check this, and if it needs enabling, how do I do it ?
Thanks for any ideas or advice !
