Freecom USB 2 DVD writer installation snags
Any thoughts appreciated!
Installing a freecom external usb DVD writer onto an older fujitsu simens lappie (approx 3 yrs old). XP with S/P 2 installed,with USB 2.0 ports. On plugging the drive in,the usual "found new hardware" followed by "found Freecom DVD writer" appears, to be replaced by "found cd-rom drive" then "a problem occured installing your hardware. It may not work properly" etc. On checking device manager the drive appears under DVD/CD drives with the snag exclamation mark next to it and the status page says:
Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41).
The drive works fine on other pcs/lappies but is needed to work on this one. Thoughts and points please,answers on a postcard....
