Hi,
Windows should find all the attached devices and install drivers for them. As they are all there, it should resolve any possible conflicts as well.
Yes, leave the card attached.
Good luck

Ok, I uninstalled all the usb and hub controllers. Didn't have any luck with windows finding my card on startup, even after uninstalling them a second time and installing my pci card in a new slot. I guess my mobo just doesn't want to accept it.
Thanks for all the replies. Very helpful information all around, atleast it has been a learning experience.

Some times you just have to call it quits

static frys alot of components
haha, which brings me to the classic question, did you discharge yourself before doing all of this???

One should discharge daily for good measure....
Seriously...since the card worked in another machine under Win98, it appears that either a resource conflict or a couple of bad slots are at the heart of the problem. I can't imagine a USB 2.0 card being manufactured that is not compatible with XP UNLESS it's an issue with SP2. But thats just a crazy notion since we all know how infallible M$ is.
just my .02....

Hmmm... if it worked in a 98, it should work in XP. The best thing I can think of is some kind of mobo/card incompatability... But yeh, this is weird...

I have seen ISA/legacy devices that work fine with 98 but crap out on XP however a USB 2.0 card SHOULD NOT be one of them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but XP has been around longer than USB 2.0 so I'm left wondering if the card is in some way not compliant with the PCI standard that the m/b is using.
One other test...can you install some other PCI card in the slots that are in question here and see if they detect/install?

A lot of motherboards show what cards and resources are being used right after post. I would boot up without the card and record whats there and then with the card and check for differences. If there isn't any, then its probably not a windows driver issue.
