i have two working home edition xp computers in my house one plug and play works and one doesn't.i have a card reader for SD cards (the digital camera cards) plugs right into usb, came w/ a cd but the cd is only 4 windows 98 or earlier. The card reader works for the one computer, not the other. Not just the card reader any plug and play hardware. it pops up 2 install it and it go through the steps but at the end it says "device not installed properly." "your device might not work properly"
It might be under a section called installed O/S or similar........ Also make sure your PCI peripherals section is set to auto.
is it mini pci device? that's the only thing i seen like that in the bios said it was uninstalled, it wouldn't let me go on it to install/activate it
i don't know, i have a dell inspiron 1150 laptop don't know what make or model it is, don't know where to find out tell me where 2 find it i'll tell u thanks
didn't know you had a dell laptop so forget my previous post. did you go thru everywhere in the bios for plug & play(pnp) & is pnp os enabled?
check dell site for faq. any exclamation marks in device manager & is usb controller(s) also enabled in the device manager
