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.
