I changed four entries that had 'read only' for USB to 'full
permissions' and rebooted.

I installed a Belkin USB 2/Firewire card on a machine with WIN XP Home.

No problems. I have tested both USB 2 and Firewire with an external HD.

Does XP recognize the card for what it is?

Do not use the PCI slot next to the AGP slot. I have had funnies there.

Then go to MS Windows Update. Let it do a scan an see if any new
drivers appear.
