If the memory that you added is compatible with your system and compatible
with the old memory, then it should be recognized by the BIOS when you boot
and Windows will see it. You do not need to add any drivers from Microsoft
or anyone else to make new memory work with your system. You do not need to
run the Add new hardware wizard since there are no special drivers to make
this work.

Things to try...

Check to be sure that it's seated firmly.

Remove the original and try the new by itself. If it works fine with the
new module, then put the old one back in the other position. If it still
doesn't work then it's possible that the two memory modules are not
compatible with each other. Check your computer documentation to see what
type of memory is required for an upgrade. You might also try removing the
old memory and replacing it with a 256 or 512 module.
