USB port

the driver is probably already loaded. What u might find is that it is not ENABLED in your BIOS settings. What ever options you have upon booting to enter your "set-up" do as requested and verify that your USB's are enabled.
THEN i would of course go to website of your board to either get driver or to check to see if maybe u need to upgrade your drivers. If this happened after an OS upgrade you may indeed need to upgrade your drivers to that OS. BUT check your BIOS first!

You don't mentioned your OS.
-in NT4.0 you need additional software to support USB. Natively NT4.0 don't have support for USB.
-for rests of OS you must install motherboard drivers, enable in BIOS USB options and the OS will detect your USB.
-depends of the OS you can install updates (like in Win95 OSR2 which have on original CD additional package for USB).
If these are not enough give us more detail about your problem.

The on-board USB port driver is part of the motherboard / chipset drivers.
If you do not know what chipset you have, or who made your motherboard, 2 good resources are;
www.belarc.com
www.motherboards.org

Belarc Advisor will create a web page that will be stored on your system with all the details of your configuration.

Motherboards.org can help you identify who made your motherboard, and has links to manufactures.

2 caveats on USB;
Windows 95 does NOT have functional USB support except for version 2.5 "C"
If you have a version 2.5 CD, the USB update is in a seperate folder. Extract the files onto your hard drive, and run the install.
You may still be able to download the USB suplement from Microsoft.

Windows NT 4 does not have native USB support. There is a third party program

that will provide USB support for NT4.
