I purchased a 5-port USB PCI Host Card to upgrade my older USB. I keep
getting a message to upgrade because my scanner is a hi-speed device. The
directions for installling this card are not clear. It says to use the
"eject or unplug" icon in the system tray bar to eject the old card before
removing it from the PC. However, there is no such icon in my system tray.
What to do?

I have a Sony RX 752, Windows XP. I also want to install a sound card at
the same time and disable my Sis 650/740. But I need to know about ejecting
the old USB port before I open my computer up. The instructions say that if
I do not do that, I can damage the hard drive and/or the USB devices.

Please advise and thank you!
