Re: PCI Network Card Installation after Upgrading from ME to XP

An upgrade, as apposed to a clean install can lead to problems, having said

Belkin tech may be assuming that you have a dual boot sys, ie winme and
winxp.
It may also be that the card can only be installed when logged on as the
Administrator.
