1. Plug in your PCMCIA USB 2.0 Card
2. Let Windows assign all of the drivers.
3. Once it is done, try to use the card with a device that makes it freeze.
4. After it is frozen unplug the PCMCIA card and let windows recover.
5. Now restart your computer.
6. Log on.
7. Click start and right click on “My Computer” and select “Properties”.
8. Click the “Hardware” tab at the top.
9. Click on the “Device Manager” button.
10. Near the bottom of the list it should say, “Universal Service Bus Controllers”. If you see the “minus” sign next to it do nothing. If you see the “plus” sign click it and you should see the “minus” sign.
11. Right click on “Standard Enhanced Host Controller” and select “Update Driver…”.
12. Select “No, not this time.” When it asks you about Windows Update.
13. Select “Install from a list or a specific location (Advanced)”.
14. Select “Don’t search. I will choose the driver to install.”
15. When you are given the list of drivers select the one that has the name of the manufacturer of your PCMCIA card. For myself, I choose the NEC driver.
16. It will run and let it finish out.
17. When it is done, it might flash up and tell you there is another driver to install. You will have to go and manually set up a driver again.
18. But first, take out the card and put it back in.
19. You might be able to just click on the bubble in the bottom right and assign the driver that way. If not repeat what you have already done.
20. When you get to the list with the pluses and minuses, find the “Universal Service Bus Controller” with an exclamation point or “x” next to it. Continue on until you get to the list of drivers to select from.
21. For me there was only one choice, it said “USB 2.0 Root Hub Device”. Select it.
22. When you are done with everything, remove the PCMCIA card and restart your computer.
23. When you restart and put the card back in, it should all work.
