XP home SP1 retail vs OEM

[Chris]

I recently installed a Canopus ACEDVio capture card in my
DELL 4600 and I am having problems getting it to show up
properly in device manager.

The Canopus support tells me this is a known issue
experienced by people having installed XP from the OEM XP
Home SP1 disk. He suggested I reinstall XP Home from a
retail version of the disk.

I have always believed that the only difference between an
OEM version and retail was the box, manual, and support.
Is it possible that installing the retail vesion will make
any change?

Visit http://www.canopus.it/US/support/support_index.asp and download
and install the latest Windows XP compatible drivers for your specific
capture card. It does not make any difference whether you have an OEM
or retail version of Windows XP installed. The key to installation is
installing the correct drivers.
