Problems installing ALI USB 2.0 / IEEE1394 multi-port USB / Firewire pci card
I recently bought a multi-port USB / Firewire card. The card is a no name
card. The chip is an ALI USB 2.0 / IEEE1394. The card did not come with any manual; only a driver CD with one driver installation file. The card is apparently not P&P and this is where my troubles start. After a problem free installation of the ALI USB driver form the driver CD, I cannot see the new USB / Firewire ports when I look in the device manager. I see the USB port on that are installed wit the motherboard. I have tried to delete the on-board USB pots, but they reinstalls after I have restarted WIN-XP as P&P "found new hardware". When I run "check for new" hardware WinXP is not able to detect the new card. The computer is an ASUS A7N266-VM motherboard with a AMD 1800, a 60mb Diamond hd, 512 mb of memory of which 32 is allocated to the onboard NVIDA graphic adapter. Does anyone have any idea of where or what I am doing wrong? Or can someone direct my to a site or newsgroup that address this kind of problems? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated Sincerely, Hans |

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated Sincerely, Hans It is a plug-n-play card, there is no other option for such a card. Does Device Manager show the card at all, "any" entry? Have you updated WinXP to SP1 for USB2 support? Have you checked the manufacturer's website for possibility of a newer driver? If none of the above seem to apply, simply return the card... they're too cheap to sweat over, get a different make. |

Can you install the driver before install the PCI card?
If your Windows cannot recognise the said, it might due to conflict of IRQ. Try to move the said card to another empty PCI slot. -- WebWalker PGP Key ID : 0xB3F1A279 |
