    You could try unplugging and replugging the device - rebooting with the device plugged in may help.

    Device Manager


    Get to the regular device manager... U can right-click on "Computer" and select manage. The device manager snap-in brings up an "Action" menu item on the menubar. Choose - "Add Legacy Hardware".

    Hope it helps
