USB Drivers
INTRODUCTION:
Most USB devices drivers automatically installed after you plug in on you PC. Most of use call it "Plug and Play". For example if you plug a USB mouse into your USB port windows automatically searching and install the appropriate driver. You will see a dialog box like this:
But not all USB devices recognize by windows, you need to install the driver first before using it.
STEP HOW TO INSTALL USB DRIVERS.
1. First identify what is your device model number/type name. For example you are using Verizon broadband modem UM150.
2. Go to the official download page and download the correct driver that match your USB device model.
3. Install it and allow few minutes for windows to fully updates and identify all components for the USB.
Certain USB devices come with firmware CD and you just need to install it on your system.
USB DRIVERS FOR USB FLASH DRIVE AND EXTERNAL STORAGE
Windows already have the generic drivers for USB FLASH DRIVE and MEMORY CARD. Normally it is called "Mass Storage Device", by default all windows operating system have this driver in thier system, if not you can get it from Microsoft site here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318812
This apply for most external device such as:
external magnetic hard drives
external optical drives, including CD and DVD reader and writer drives
portable flash memory devices
solid-state drives
adapters bridging between standard flash memory cards and USB connections
digital cameras
digital audio players and portable media players
card readers
PDAs
mobile phones
For memory card if you get an error "Disk Management Console View is not Up to Date". I already write a post to solve the problems in details here. http://laptop-driver.blogspot.com/2010/12/disk-management-console-view-is-not-up.html
WHAT IF THERE ARE NO DRIVERS OR FIRMWARE AVAILABLE.
1. Try to plug the USB device into other USB port.
2. If the problem persist, open device manager and expand the USB Root Hub
3. You will see unknown device or any device marked with yellow.
4. Right click on it and select Uninstall. Reboot your computer.
5. Open device manager again and right click on of the any USB root hub list and select scan for hardware change.
USB SUDDENLY STOP WORKING
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Deatch power chord or power supply.
3. Remove battery (for laptop)
4. Open your computer and plug the USB device.
Sometimes when the USB is too hot and too busy windows will stop the USB device to prevent from system instability. I already experience this with few device from HUAWEI which require me to unplug and replug every time it is not responsive. Later on i solved the problem buy put a small fan near the USB device to keep the temperature low.

ATI Mobility Radeon X1350 Windows 7 Drivers
INSTALLING USING WINDOWS UPDATE.
Base on my experience installing windows 7 on Acer Aspire 4920G which use ATI Radeon X1350. Windows automatically install the drivers along windows 7 installation. After check for windows updates, windows also have a new updates for the cards and it is more stable.
INSTALLING USING ATI MOBILITY MODDER.
You can also use ati mobility modder which is available at http://www.hardwareheaven.com/modtool.php . I have a very long history with this site and it is one of the best site to get drivers or updates which is not available neither on manufacture nor official support site.
TESTING DRIVERS.
For performance, I myself love to test with different driver version. You can try Original vista drivers for example for HP 531use sp40783.exe.
To install you need to extract the driver and set the setup compatibility to windows vista. You can also install manually using device manager. I have a good result installing vista drivers for V3000 model compare using the latest drivers form nvidia.
