Well, I didn't solve the problem on my old machine and neither did Belkin.... However, I have built a new machine and I'm pleased to say EVERYTHING is working fine. New machine is Abit KG7 Raid....512 Mb Crucial PC2100 DDR unregistered memory....AMD XP 1700+ Processor.....twin IBM 40 Gb hard drives...Abit Siluro GeForce3 TI200 graphics....Audigy Platinum soundcard....running WinXP Pro from clean install. I was extremely impressed with the way XP installed and then recognised all my peripheral devices....I was expecting some problems with my Entrega and Belkin parallel/USB adapters I have attached to my two printers....but no, XP coped with all that and I didn't even have to install the Belkin and Entrega software. I hasten to add that I didn't build the new machine to fix my Belkin problem !!! Hopefully, I'm off to do some successful video editing, which was a bit problematic with my old 400MHz PII. However, I'm sure my current happy, problem-free state wont last for long !!
