Hi Hem,
Thanks for posting here.
Based on my search, SiS is a computer motherboard chip-set manufacture. It
is possible that either the driver for the Ports don't support these
updates, or it was disabled or damaged, or that you connected to a
previously unused USB or serial port.
Right click on your My Computer icon.
Select Properties.
Click on the Hardware.
Click on Device Manager button.
Look for Yellow "?" or "!".
Either means that you do have a device driver problem.
There is a tutorial on installing device drivers, and links to most
manufactures web sites at
www.driverguide.com.
You can either download the latest driver from the computer manufactures
web site, or get the driver from SiS.
To assure that you get the correct driver from SiS, you will need to
identify the specific chip-set on your motherboard.
I have searched and found the following Sis Drievers download websites:
FIC Technical Support: SiS Drivers for FIC Motherboards

SiS Driver Download
http://www.jetway.com.tw/evisn/download/driver/index-2....
HTH!
