When you install a driver of card or peripheral device, make sure that the driver

Before connecting peripheral equipment, first determine the media that
contains the peripheral device's driver (e.g., CD-ROM), then attach the device
for that media to the multimedia pocket. Once the installation screen for the
device's driver appears, equipment you then connect to the multimedia pocket
will not be recognized.
Install the driver.
Contact the manufacturer of the device.
