Re: Logitech USB Headset 350 not supported in MCE 2005?

I'm sorry I went back to your origional post and realized that my recent
responsed have not paid attention to your origional problem.
Just to make sure I understand if you shutdoen your system and unplug your
USB headset and reboot your system and do not start MCE and then and plug
backin your headset into either a front or a rear USB port that you do not
get a new USB device installed alert and it does not load your drivers.
I assume that you have checked XP SP2 downloads and inusured that you have
any that apply to USB ports or USB drivers.
