AKE USB3 Express Card Adaptor Driver Problem
I cannot get an AKE 3-port USB3 express card adaptor to work in my HP Elitebook 8530w. The adaptor came without drivers when I bought it, which didn't worry me at first because I assumed Windows 7 would support it. Wrong! I have identified the NEC and Renesas drivers as appropriate (although I believe they are in fact the same driver), and installed both. I've installed the Asmedia USB3 Control Hub driver, which also seemed as if it might be useful. I have updated everything else I can using DriverUpdate, and my OS is fully up to date. Windows Action Center does not indicate any problems and there are no driver problems flagged in Device Manager. The express card port recognises other express card devices, so that does not seem to be the problem. Can anybody suggest what I could try next? I'm not actually worried about USB3 as such, because I don't suppose the Elitebook has that capability, but I'd just like to get it working in USB2 mode.
