Trying to find a USB driver

tadpole90 · 11-20-2008, 02:47 AM

Hallo,

I am running windows professional SP2 and can't find a driver for a desktop computer, that I cannot get connected to the net. It is a USB driver, and the device instance id is USB\VID_046D&PID_08B2&MI_00\6&34BF85A1&0&0000 Can anyone Help?

Heya :)
Did you mean you need drivers for USB hubs????
Well, SP2 has implemented USB 2.0 drivers when you install SP2...

Go to Device Manager and tell us do you have any yeallow question marks next to devices...

Keep us posted...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. One day I had the driver, next day it said no driver was installed. I reinstalled XP SP2, but it is still missing that driver. I have tried searching on the net with another computer, but without the name of the driver, I did not find anything that worked.

To access Device Manager, right-click on
My Computer icon and choose Properties

Go to Hardware and click Device Manager

Tell us do you have any yellow question marks next to devices????

Hi Again,

There is a yellow question mark next to USB Device. I tried uninstalling it and rebooting, when it searched for a driver it found nothing and asked to try the internet, which I cannot connect to, ever since this driver vanished. I use a LAN

What is that USB device that you are using????
Is that regular USB Serial Bus Controller or it is some kind of USB Device like Card Reader or USB mouse or something similar???

Hi,

It is the usb for my LAN connection

**vladimirb** · 11-20-2008, 03:39 AM

USB for your LAN connection????!!!
You mean network card???

tadpole90 · 11-20-2008, 03:47 AM

Hi

I don't really know, one night my LAN worked and next morning it did not. The only change I could find on my computer was that this USB Device no longer had a driver. If I could find and install the driver and my LAN still did not work, I would know that I needed a new LAN board.

Do you have Motherboard CD with drivers???
You need to install Network card drivers...
If you do not have CD with drivers, then open one side of the case and find out
what make/model is your Motherboard...
Visit manufacturers Web Site and download Network card driver...

P.S. Would be nice to take a screenshot of your Device Manager and post it so We can
know what exactly you have uninstalled...

Hi,

Thanks, I have got the cd for my motherboard, but it did not fix the problem. That USB device has now vanished , very odd!!! I think maybe I need a new network card!
