Hmmm.... I'm pretty darned sure I installed this USB2 card well before I
loaded the Windows Updates.  I installed this 110 motherboard into my 100
and set up W2K a couple of months back.  Checking my notes, I finally
loaded all of the Windows Updates online on the 5th of this month.  I know
I haven't messed with that USB2 card's drivers for well before that.  But
then my memory, even with trying to keep notes on document computer issues,
doesn't always serve me well.

I see from that MS URL that for the cause of the problem, it states;

"This problem occurs because Windows 2000 does not include support for EHCI
host controllers."

Maybe Philip, Raymond or someone more technically oriented can tell us if
some USB2 cards don't need a "EHCI host controller" to operate.  Or if it
might be a fundamental component of a USB2 card.

Otherwise I guess it's not a huge issue.

I'd still like to know if a USB DVD drive might be able to play DVDs on a
Libretto.
