I have a seriously difficult time having emplode/XP recognise that my empeg is connected.

I'm having lots of problems getting XP to see my empeg also.

Hmmm... This doesn't sounds very reashuring...

However, It would appear that other people are not haveing trouble, so maybe it is only certain configurations. Were these upgrades from 2K, 9x, or fresh installs? Were you having the same trouble before you switched to XP?

Just a couple of thoughts...
