Hi I have had the same problem,but searched for a driver, just google it, that is how I got mine. I am sorry but I do not have the URL for the one I got, but it is not that big a file.

Hope this helps Wwz

I cant get it to work, Im running Vista Home premium 32 bit, the driver installs but when I plug the USB cable in it asks me to install the driver!!!!, there has to be a better way. Let me know how you get on.
