Question : How to force Windows XP to detect USB PCMCIA card

Hi - I had a technician here yesterday and he replaced the motherboard in my laptop. Everything seemed ok but when I insterted my PCMCIA card with two USB 2.0 extensions the laptop could not install it correctly. It had worked fine before the motherboard change.

The XP hardware wisard opened up but it could not find the driver (the device had a yellow questionmark in device management). I may have accedentially checked the box "do not try to install the devise again"- so when I eject the card and put it back in nothing happens(the device is also gone from device management).

My question is then is there a way to force XP to search for drivers for the now invisible PCMCIA device?

Thanks J
