"VXpro" is NOT "VX". 430VX is an Intel chipset. VXpro is a
PCChips chipset; reviewers have generally found it inferior to the
"real" VX. [The TXpro set seems to compare pretty favourably against
the Intel 430TX, but that's not what you have.]
Odds are very good that this software support will install fine for
you.

The important point is that it came with a USB connector on-board,
right? [You probably SHOULDN'T by serial or parallel port jacks,
because there are at least two different ways that manufacturers have
chosen to wire the on-board connectors for those ports -- use the
ones that came with the board.
I'm not aware of multiple pin-outs for USB connectors, so maybe
there's a single standard. I haven't actually seen such jacks in
stores, but they should exist.
