LOL. Yesterday, one of my Vista boxes gave me a message that it had detected some new unidentified hardware (I've not installed anything new on it). It then said it had successfully installed the necessary drivers.
There must be a database of drivers for unknown hardware somewhere.
Weird.
WINXP installs generic drivers when and where it can

fear not!
just DHS enrolling you into their 24/7 data monitoring protocol!
Often if you even switch the USB port a device is attached to... Windows will reload a device driver. These days USB port sets are on different chipsets on the motherboard - thus when moved the device is seen as ‘new’...
One just needs to go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager and - if a device is not working you’ll see a red or yellow flag or an indication that it is simply not installed by absence of an entry - Like Network Adapters.
