Make sure that before you install the drivers, you select CD-ROM as the location to search the files, as the drivers required are the ones provided in your CD (Check under the USB drivers folder). This is important, because if you let Windows install default drivers (found under C:/WINNT or C:/Windows), you will get the error message. Incorrect drivers would show up with an exclamation or question mark under Device Manager.
