Can anyone tell me where to get drivers for a generic USB
2.0 pci card I installed. Microsoft doesn't let you
download drivers for XP. My pci host card is based on a
via tech chipset. The model is "V6202" usb 2.0. Anyone
know how to get the drivers for it?
USB 2.0 drivers only come with XP SP1, and there is a catch if you get
the 'express' version - they will not get downloaded unless you already
have a USB 2.0 controller installed - with drivers.
If no drivers came with the card, I suggest you go to Windows Update and
on the left take Windows Update Catalog (you may need to use
'personalise' first). WIth that take the lower item - Drivers etc, and
in that Other Devices (USB etc). Then select Microsoft Corporation;
Windows 2000 (not XP) and in the 'Contains' box type in USB
This will offer a download of Win2000 USB 2.0 drivers which appear to be
the same as the XP SP1 ones, for NEC or VIA chipsets, and run to extract
to a folder. Then use Add Hardware; manual and select from a list and
in Other devices browse to the .inf file of the set
