alphanumeric Is correct, you do not need drivers for the hub as windows will install them with default windows drivers, you will also not see hub in windows (except for Device manager)
Your hub may require additional power from an external mains though your hub should have come with this already but its not always required.
once you have plugged in your hub have you attached any other USB device to the hub to see if the USB devices are being detected by window? it may well be that windows was quick enough to initialize the hub without you actually seen it on screen
