Device manager entry

Hi,

I recently upgraded my PC by changing the motherboard and the CPU. I
inserted the old hard drive which had Windows 98 SE on it and everything
pretty much worked like a dream Windows loaded all the drivers OK - that is
except 1.

In the device manager I have a question mark against a device described as
"PCI Universal Serial Bus" - which sounds pretty important to me! I have,
of course tried reinstaling the mobo drivers and tried windows update but no
joy.
Everything seems to be working OK but I can't help feeling it ought to be
installed.

Can anyone tell me what this is and how I could install the driver for it.

BTW the new chip is an Athlon 3000+ 754socket mobo is Asus K8V-X-SE

Thanks in advance
Phill

"Universal Serial Bus" = USB a way to attach external devices, usually via a
connector that is ~5/8" wide by 3/16" thick. If the USB ports involved are
"onboard" -- part of the motherboard -- then you need to find the drivers
from the motherboard manufacturer. If it's a plug-in PCI card, then you need
to identify it and go to the manufacturer for the drivers.

Gary,

You were quite right the driver was available on the manufacturer's CD.
Somehow I missed it when installing the other mobo drivers as they were all
listed separately. Slightly embarassing but at least it's working now.

Thanks

Zsssst! Another one bites the dust...

PS -- Embarrassing isn't part of our vocabulary. Wanna find the people most
capable of stupid mistakes, look for any ol' MVP to fit the bill.

The trick is remembering the lesson -- which for those of us who are memory
challenged simply means that we have to re-learn the lesson more often,
eg.
