is there any via usb drivers as i have downloaded them from the via website but they dont include the xp drivers and i read they are only available through cd due to licsencing.

i could just buy another cheap card with a different chipset but i would prefer to try the via driver first if they can be found

anyone has them can you email them to me please:cool:
 
USB2 drivers are included in XP, so it should just find the card and work straight away :) There is no need to update them.
 
yes the card is installed fine with no conflicts but my usb 2 card is not working correctly.

my mouse and keyboard and usb wireless adapter work fine

however when i plug in an usb memory card adapter with sd memory, i can copy files onto the card no problem but if i try to move or copy them back onto the hard drive, it works for a minute then an error comes up, the device still shows up on my computer but there is nothing inside when i open it.

the error says 'the parameters are incorrect' whatever that means

also my new lacie 500gb ext hdd is the same, i copied many videos to the hard drive and it does the same after a while of playing a movie.

so if i cant get via driver sto see if that improves things i will just buy another usb card with a different chipset.
