I want to add USB 2.0 port to a PC that is about 4 years old. The PC is running XP PRO SP1. I bought a 2 Port PCI USB 2.0 card (actually bought two cards of different makes with the same negative results).
When I install the card into an open PCI slot, the computer recognizes the new hardware. In the Hardware Device Manager I see all new items without exclamation marks, all as it shows in the manual should be.
But when I plug an external DVD drive to this new USB 2.0 port it is not recognized. The computer detects that something is plugged but it says that Device is not recognized.
Last night I installed all existing updates from the MSFT web site for the XP SP 1 (I was trying to bring it up to SP 1A but am not sure if I was successful since in the PC properties it still shows SP 1).
Does anyone know how to download just the USB 2.0 Driver for XP PRO?
Or if you think of anything else I could do, please let me know.
Thank you.
