Dell Inspirion N7110.  64 bit Windows Home Premium downloaded from Dell site.  The computer will not connect to the Internet so all drivers have to be downloaded to another computer and copied to the sick computer. The following items on the device manager page are adorned with yellow explanation points..

UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB)CONTROLLER

PCI\VEN_1033

There is also an explanation point by PCI Simple Communications Controller, but I understand from the description that is now not necessary

I am trying to determine what drivers I need to download and whether I will need special software to install them. Self installing drivers are a problem (if they do really self install) because the drivers need to be downloaded on a different computer.  I assume/hope that when I get connected to the Internet again, life will be more simple.
