I changed four entries that had 'read only' for USB to 'full
permissions' and rebooted.

Present system: Epox 8K3A+
Award 6.00PG 8/15/02 bios
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.

I upgraded the bios to the latest, 9-16-03, no help.

I installed a Belkin USB 2/Firewire card on a machine with WIN XP Home.

No problems. I have tested both USB 2 and Firewire with an external HD.

Does XP recognize the card for what it is?

Do not use the PCI slot next to the AGP slot. I have had funnies there.

Then go to MS Windows Update. Let it do a scan an see if any new
drivers appear.
