Cannot find file USBNTMAP.SYS

Question

After a reinstall of ME, when I try to attach my digital camera an error message shows up that says, 'cannot find file USBNTMAP.SYS'.  This is apparently a common problem after ME reinstalls.  I have downloaded this file from the internet, but cannot figure out what to do next.  How do I install the downloaded file?  Cannot figure out how to open or install the file.  Thanks for any help.
