Paul, thanks for sticking with me through this.  You have more 
stamina than I do and I'm starting to fade fast.

Heck, this was once working and now it isn't. I get the feeling that 
on one recent occassion my XP glitched when the Hudl2 was connected 
via USB and XP tried incorrectly to install a driver for some new 
device it thought had been connected.  In the process maybe it 
overwrote some previous file needed for the Hudl2 to connect 
correctly.

To be honest all these SYS, INF, DLL files which come up in 
discussion about drivers are a bit of mystery to me.  I need to read 
up on them but I wasn't planning on such a learning experience simply 
to connect my Hudl2.

It's enough of a guessing game to know what options to select when 
updating a driver although, with luck, I seem to get by.

I looked for setupapi.log on my XP system but can't find it anywhere 
on my hard drive.  Google suggests it is in C:\windows\inf\ but there 
is no .log files there at all.

I think I need more coffee before I can understand how to use that
