Windows will/would probably use drivers from 01.Try going to run,type:
Msinfo32 Locate youre pc board chipset numbers,once thru,install the chip
set installation utility from the mfg (intel/amd,etc),get the utility for

set,the latest utilities arent always the best if you run an older
board...The
utilities have the usb drivers.
