Re: Flakey USB 2.0 PCI cards

Sorry, no solutions, but because two of these cards won't work on separate
systems does rather point to defective cards. You must be able to swap them
for replacements if they're only a few weeks old. Maybe they're part of a
bad batch.

I bought 2 CompUSA PCI/USB 2.0 cards [ALI Chipset] on sale. Both installed
fine under Windows XP Sp2 [one in a Sony Vaio and the other a Compaq
DeskPro]. Worked OK for a few weeks. Now neither reliably recognizes
devices which appear fine in the USB 1.1 ports. Doing an uninstall of all
USB devices from Safe Mode did not help.
I'm perplexed.
I have no desire to spend overspend on a name brand card but suspect the
cards themselves.
Any comments or sloutions?
Thank you.
