USB Driver for Inspiron 700m?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

I recently repartitioned the hard drive on my 700m.
Then reinstalled XP Pro and the Dell driver set.
Everything on the laptop works great now (faster
than before). Except --- each time I boot up, XP
finds a new device -- a "Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Controller." There are already a set of USB
drivers installed, and the USB ports are working ok.
How can I either find the missing USB driver or at
least stop this recurring message?

thanks for listening

Nope. Once again, found the working 3 USB Controllers and their
root hubs and installed the correct drivers. USB ports work
just fine --- again.

Then XP Pro again went on to find a fourth USB Controller for
which it cannot find a driver. I'm just gonna disable
the %$#@ thing and give up. Beaten by M$ again.
