would an old USB card with an XP driver work on vista?
i've probably answered my own question in the title, i've got an old usb 2.0 card but the latest driver i can find is for XP.
would vista find it and run it ok or is it too old?
just wondered if i could us it before i went out and got a usb hub

Just shove it in, it should be fine.... Vista is generally ok for drivers built in.
I not you can actually go in to device manager and see if Vista will accept the XP driver, I had to do that on one of my laptops because the sound card just wouldn't work.
