Almost by chance I found a non-Plug-N-Play driver on my Win2000 Pro machine
(SP4) that is not working (yellow !). The driver is a "HID Class driver." I
have searched the web and it is related in some way to USB. It appears to be
used to enabling connecting various "Human Interfaces Devices" the USB bus.
(http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/)

Several months ago I gave up installing ViaVoice v.10 because I could not
get the USB microphone to work. IBM Via Voice tech support was no help --
really no help. I could learn more from the manual that the tech support
people could tell me or were willing to even attempt to diagnose.

Maybe the reason the USB sound did not work was this non-working HID driver.

I have no idea where this driver came from. Is it an driver that comes with
Windows 2000 Pro or has some application tried to install it on my system?

I have deleted the driver but, not being Plug-N-Play, and having no driver
set and really no idea what the driver does, I have no way of reinstalling
it.

Can anyone help here?

Thanks.
