Question [Pending] USB is acting weird

This is my first post on this site so hello to everyone. I’m looking for some help with a USB 2.0 card I just had installed. I have a HP/ Compaq Presario PC that runs on Windows XP. The machine originally came with 7USB slots, 3 up front and 4 in back. Now the original UPS PCL card had to be replaced because of a thunder storm and I had the 4 in the back replaced. It was installed and the PC guy showed me that it worked fine by use a pen driver. The problem is that if I try to use any device that requires software installation through a CD (like a printer or digital camera), it won’t work. It’ll give me drive won’t open, connection out established, attempt to open drive failed…etc. I don’t have any problem with things that auto program (pen drivers, speakers ...etc.)

The card installed was a Mercury USB 2.0 PCL Card produced by Manhattan Co. Can someone please help me? Please remember I’m not very computer savvy, hell let’s be honest. I’m a dumb *** when it comes to computers. But I feel this my be something a can resolve with a little help and I don’t want to pay 50 or so dollars to a PC shop if it’s something I can do myself.
Thank in advance.

Hi fly86 and welcome to PCHF, sorry for the delay in answering your post, were all very busy at the minute.

Do you have the installation disc that came with the new Pci card?
