Having big problems with my Windows XP PRO. I have it installed on both computers on my home network.
I have tried to use a PCIMCA compactflash on the laptop and a USB Pen drive on the desktop and the laptop.
They are supposed to be true plug and play and don't require drivers for win ME, 2000 or XP.
Both installed fine with win2000 no drivers needed - the native drivers were fine.
With XP the computer detects the device then asks for a drivers disc - for which there is none (- I tired the win98 / NT driver disks but they are not compatible and caused the comp to crash. Non of the websites seem to have XP drivers as they rely on the native drivers.)
All other USB devices work and all other PCIMCA devices work.
Am I doing something wrong with XP. Please help as i have work on the USB pen drive !!!
Cheers !!!
(both worked fine with win2000)
