Any tricks to getting an USB 2.0 cardbus to work on a Tobisha Tecra 8200. I’m running XP Home. I’ve tried two cards which work on another machine (older Dell). Device Manager recognizes the PCMCIA slots and the cards, but devices aren’t recognized when connected to the card. The oversea’s tech support for Toshiba was rude and totally unhelpful. FYI … I have the latest BIOS and software updates from Toshiba. And the USB1 ports on the machine work fine. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks to you and everyone who helped. I just went to the “Device Manager” and removed all (8 or 9) USB entries. I then cold booted. Windows reinstalled all of them, and MAGIC! They worked for the first time since I upgraded from XP Home to XP Pro. Thanks very much.
