I have just loaded Windows XP (Home)onto my home PC and
had problems due to some of my hardware devices (modem,
printer, scanner, USB 2.0 controller etc) not being picked
up. When I then try to manually load the devices using the
original driver CD's supplied, the system will not
recognise them. I have also tried to use drivers on the XP
disk (and also drivers that were loaded onto the C: drive
in setup under the system32 folder) - but to no avail.
When I tried going onto the manufacturers website to get
drivers for my USB 2.0 controller they (Via) say that due
to the licencing situation with XP & Microsoft the drivers
are not available to be downloaded!! - when I look on the
Microsoft site for the device (Via USB 2.0) in the
catalogue, it's not showing as there...! can anyone
suggest anything to help?

No, it's the one thing that I haven't done yet! - I will
load SP1 and see how things progress. Many thanks
