Apologies for cross posting but I got no reply from XP.Hardware NG.
Here's the rather strange problem.
Suddenly after several months a WinXP Pro machine cannot see the SMC USB
wireless adaptor.It just doesn't show up. Nothing shows in device manager
about it . I figured the adaptor was bust to so I tried
putting in another one of same manufacture ( SMC ) and also tried a Level 1
but none are detected when I put them into the USB port. So I figured the
USB port was bust so I tested with another device in the USB port ( a USB
scanner and also a USB Bluetooth dongle ) in order to
check if the USB port(s) are faulty but they soon as I plug them in the pc
finds each no problem.
Any advice plse??
