Thanks for your thoughts everyone. Everything seems to be working properly vis a vis the USB controllers. Every time I plug anything in, I get the found new hardware wizard which I then run, but it keeps saying it can't install whatever it is, because it can't find the software. This is the case whether I use the automatic search or whether I point it at a file. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
cheers
