has the most recent Service Packs installed. If the necessary updates have already
been installed, Windows will automatically detect that the PCI card has been installed,
and install the necessary drivers automatically.
If you are using Windows 98/98SE/ME, please see Driver Installation.
Driver installation
Please note that Microsoft EHCI drivers for Windows XP/2000 are not included with this
card. In order to acquire the necessary drivers, please ensure that you have installed

your card.

system has not been updated before. De-select any unnecessary downloads, and
