In my experience after installing XPee (pre SP1) on a homebuilt computer
with USB 2.0 on the motherboard it recognised every component except the USB
2.0 device.

It was a simple matter of finishing the installation.  Connecting to Windows
Update, and downloading and installing Service Pack 1.  Actually I tell a
lie....I had already previously downloaded the entire service pack 1.  It's
a little known fact that at Windows Update you can actually download all the
updates as if you were downloading a program from www.download.com and then
save the updates to a directory of your choice.  I did this for SP1 some
time ago - when it was first released in fact.

Unfortunately, the SP 1 was on my external USB 2.0 hard disk so the new
computer was unable to read it.  However I had also copried it to an older
firewire/USB 1.1 external hard disk so I installed it from that device.  I
could have just downloaded it again from Windows Update, but this was on a
friend's computer and we were assembling the machine on his kitchen table a
long way from his ADSL connection!  Anyway, once SP1 was installed the
computer had no trouble recognising the USB 2.0 port, hub and the external
hard disk when connected.

If you tell me the motherboard manufacturer - the name and model number of
the motherboard usually appers in the first couple of lines of the on-screen
BIOS routine when you switch on the computer.  You may have to switch it on
twice since the monitor sometimes doesn't 'kick-in' until you are half way
through the BIOS the first time - I can probably track down any driver
updates for it.

you're welcome - but be aware - I'm obviously carrying a bit of bad karma at
the moment.  I've had three hard disks fail on me in the last 6 weeks.  One
40 gig internal 24 hours after transferring the 28 gigs of MP3 files from
it - phew! One on a 'managed' friend's notebook - two weeks after I made a
complete copy of her entire drive to my computer - phew! And the
aforementioned external USB 2.0 40 gig notebook-sized disk - in the UK -
just after I had copied all my holiday photos from my digital camera to the
drive - but before I'd deleted them form the memory sticks....
