Thanks for the input. The Belkin 5-port PCI card package did
include a CD but in reading the owner's manual, it said the files
on the CD were for OS systems prior to XP...that XP would
automatically detect and install the 5-port USB2 adapter card.
The Belkin documentation stated that Windows XP would detect
three USB2 devices once the Belkin 5-port PCI adapter card was
installed properly. The first detection went smoothly and quickly.
The second detection hung the system.
The Belkin card was returned to the store today.
Am now dealing with the Compaq 5-port PCI card now. Unlike
the Belkin card, the Compaq breezes past detection. I can see
a momentary flicker (very fast!) outline of a window panel but
then it moves on.
