64321	2002-07-22 09:54:00	Installed PCI Card 2 Port USB in addition to existing two ports. Running XP Home Edition that detected hardware as “OPTi 82C861 PCI to USB Open Host Controller”. All items in the list under USB Controllers within device manager show “This device is working properly”. When I connect any of the devices, that all worked in the existing ports, “Unknown Device” is displayed with the message “No drivers are installed for this device” Have tried to no avail: 1. uninstall and automatic re-install of the USB drivers. 2. reinstall of software for printer, ADSL modem and digital camera Any assistance would be much appreciated.

All 1.1 cards require only one IRQ and should share an IRQ with the onboard USB Host Controller. Check your mainboard manual or the manufacturers web site before you insert the card. You will need to change PCI slots if the card installs on another IRQ or is sharing an IRQ with a device other than USB	godfather (25)
