Hello Supporters :)
        Ok, i have the following spec PC:

Chaintech 7VJl1 Motherboard (Socket A)
AMD Athlon 1800+ XP Processor
256MB DDR Ram
30GB HDD
120GB HDD
CDRW Drive
DVD Drive
4 Port USB 1.1 PCI Card
4 Port USB 2.0 PCI Card
2 Onboard USB 2.0
2 Case USB 2.0 Ports
Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade
300W PSU

Ok.. After i install 2-3 USB Devices i cannot install
anymore (this is any combination, powered or not - ZIP
Drives.. Sony Digital Cameras.. anything. Ive formatted
over 20 times and this does not resolve the problem. The
error i get is when i try to install anything windows
tries to track down the drivers, then displays 'Windows
cannot find the software for your hardware' - this is the
case when i move the devices around, if i want to install
something else i have to format, this is very frustrating!

Please help

Matthew
