I find that when I plug my Gold-X USB-> serial adapter into a
different USB port (even a different port on an external hub) I get
prompted to install the driver! Over and over...
If I plug my external hub with serial adapters into a different USB
port on the PC, I get to start all over again. EVENTUALLY, I will
have installed the driver for every combination.
As I start to use USB for serial, cameras, USB uC chipsets and other
things that WinXP doesn't automatically identify, the process becomes
long and boring.
In the end, it works...
