SIW worked great thanks.

- Here is the info it gives me on the Motherboard section -
Northbridge - VIA Apollo VP3 revision 04
Southbridge - VIA VT82C586 revision 04
CPU - AMD K6 3D processor
Cpu Socket - Socket 7 (321)

So what do I need to find my motherboard driver, North bridge or South? And do have any recommended place for me to look for a driver at?

Haha sure was.  :-\
I still don't know whether to look for the Sth bridge model number or the Nth bridge number when looking for a driver.

I erased my suggestion.  I did not realize all the top guns were on hand.

Carry on Major,  I'll be in the area all day.

I've always found it useful to even look at the mainboard,  :P

my K6-2 uses a MVP-3G (I think) motherboard;  but, given the age of the machine it would make sense if the operating system automatically installed and dfetected the chipset drivers.

Have we tried removing everything related to USB from device manager and rebooting?

I does not list a motherboard model. It just says Motherboard and lists the bridges.
CPU-Z also gives me just the following:
Chipset - VIA Apollo VP3 revision 04
Southbridge - VIA VT82C586

There's a part number printed on it somewhere.
