Also, are you planning on using the WOL feature?

All I need is to have two USB ports as computer had none. Cannot find anything to identify the motherboard. Old computer probably what came with it GenuineIntel Pentium (R) When the card is installed computer will not boot into windows. Is this wire a power sourse for the card or should card work without it? Just says standard system devise under system properties

if your just using the USB ports then you shouldnt need to do anything else other then load the drivers. if the system doesnt do it for you. the USB ports are going to work through the PCI card and its slot, not through the WOL. as far as it not booting then may try another PCI slot or move the cards you have in there around. that usually makes the computer re-assign IRQ's which usually solves most problems...

I tried changing slots around,but computer will not boot with the USB PCI card installed. The slots work fine with other cards in them. This was a new PCI card so maybe it is the card itself that is not working
