Click Next again to direct Windows to search the driver database on your hard drive

NOTE: If Windows fails to find the correct driver, insert the Windows 98/2000/ME/XP
CD in your CD-ROM to install a USB HID (Human Interface Device) driver. USB HID
drivers are typically not included in a default installation. HID is a subclass of USB
devices. These drivers are needed for the SMART Board to work using a USB cable.
