| When you get the 'new hardware found' message, does it then ask you to download the usb driver. The originals appear to have been lost in your reinstall, so you need to go through that process again. |

| Have you looked in Device Manager? Look in USB and you may find a ? against an entry. You can update the driver there if auto id not working. |

| As a rule of thumb software first unless the manufacturer says so. then USB hardware, if it hasn't got it it will usually say so. Then insert your "thing". |
