Hiya, If you go back into device manager, and remove all the conflicting
items, then restart your computer, windows should reload them again on start
up.
(you might need the windows98 disk or the software for your scanner or
webcam handy)
It seems like the drivers for the pci card haven't been loaded to me. Once
that's recognised by windows, u shouldn't have any trouble.

(14/6/1999); system chip is a via apollo mvp(3); fsb is 100mhz; my problem
is that in order to use usb i had to buy a pci card which i installed. Since
then, unfortunately it hasn't seemed to work. both my scanner and webcam
need usb, but when i try to use the card ports i receive a device not ready
message. looking in device manager i saw that the foolowing:
