Hi everybody
I just got XP now. (!) My problem is that a simple pci printer card (by STLab) which configured well in Win98 doesn't recognize by XP. I haven't found yet any driver for this printer card of course, probably because XP should have no problem to recognize normally a plug/play device.

There is no such thing as "XP should have not problem to recognize"...why are all the manufacturers working overtime to make their devices/software work with XP?...cuz it don't. XP is a new ballgame...find, if you can, drivers that are designated as being compatible with XP...If the compatibility message comes up, try loading the drivers anyway...sometime they work.
