I am sorry, but I do not remember exactly how this went,
but go to
settings, control panel, system, device manager
I believe you will see the card in yellow. Click on it
and get to the part that says install driver. Do NOT
let windows search for it, but rather give it your
filename. (A slight permutation of this process should
work.)
