I think if you direct it to C:\Dell it will find it. I did the same thing, and had the same problem (actually I've got two more that I still need to find drivers for). If it's not in the Dell folder specifically try the sub folders. I know it's in there somewhere.

Let us know if you find it.

i don't have a c:\dell. i fdisked it and installed clean. any ideas on what the specific driver is?

Hi,

It will be on the dell drivers cd that came with your system. just put that in the drive and install thdrivers from it.

hope this helps

yeah.. y aknow what? i did the same things aaron.. i wiped the hardrive and when i reinstalled XP, it said that the USB controller driver was missing.. i've been looking for drivers that might help.. but i haven't found the right one yet. ..and.. it's NOT on the dell drivers cd... nor on my computer. i d/ld one driver.. R41334 (i think i got some found some drivers at hp.com, but there were probably 10, and i didn't know which to use...), but after it installed and told me to restart to finish installation.. the contents disappeared... (or i'm just too inept to find it)

anyone found some solutions yet?

thanks everyone..

i don't remember which file names i used, but i was able to get all the drivers off one of the CD's. if you need, i can dig the box out and let you know which one.

i would avoid using drivers from another manufacturer, especially HP. they do alot of things to there hardware that make them specific to there drivers. you may end up with weird hard to figureout problems if you use drivers from HP on your Dell. if your looking for a non-Dell driver, make sure it's an OEM driver from the manufature of the item your installing. for example: i have a GeForce4 in my system. instead of using Dells lame drivers, i went to Nvidia and got there drivers for it.

regards,

aaron

It's a USB 2 driver. Update your driver using Microsoft Windows Update on the Internet. This driver cannot be found on Dell's CD.
