I loaded the 4-in-1 drivers and it WORKED! I didn't download the filter patch... is there something specifically that I would need it for? I apologize for the questions, my knowledge of hardware configuration is somewhat limited. Thanks for the help!!

: : My VIA USBs have been non-functional lately due to no drivers being installed. The thing is that under Device Manager on the Driver tab it says theres a Microsoft driver version 5.0.2183.1. I have a Compaq Presario 5716. The host controller type??? Please help me. I have been unable to load digital pictures or hotsync my Palm Pilot for weeks. Thank you!
