Peter,
I Uninstall the driver from the device manager first. If i disconnect the
usb adapter first, I cannot uninstall the driver from the device manager
because it is not there. After uninstall driver and remove device I reboot,
then I connect the adapter and update the driver. I must update the driver
because when i connect the adapter, xp recognizes it and says it is ready for
use.
Am I going about this correct?
