'Lo Again,
I just installed a VIA PCI to USB 2.0 5-port controller card in my system, and no matter what I try, the card isn't being recognized (i.e., when I plug a periphrial into it, it doesn't work, or show up under the device manager). According to the "manual" (really just a 1/2 page tip-sheet) that accompanied the card, I need to download some EHCI drivers that are accompanied with WinXP Service Pack 1 (I'm using the base WinXP Professional from a few years back). I've already tried putting SP1 on via the automatic update, but for some reason they won't "take." When I place the driver CD that came with the card into my current DVD-rom drive, it tries to autoplay, but can't find any pertinent file<s>. So, after all that, here's<re> my question<s>:
1. Is there a way to get the necessary EHCI drivers without downloading WinXP SP1?
2. Is there something "obvious" that I'm doing wrong, here?
TIA...
