How to install network adapter driver

[effdbmx1]

I have a usb network adapter and the driver files are on a flash drive. On XP, I just selected search in this location and selected the driver folder. I cant figure out how to do that in 7. I have the flash drive plugged in and the adapter too but when it searches it can't find the driver folders and i can't find a way to direct it to them.

Hi effdmmx1

download the win7 drivers from the makers web site.
there is lot of USB Network Adapter with NO win7 drivers.

You could copy the driver off of a flash drive and into a folder on your HDD, and then direct windows to search for the driver in that folder on your HDD.
