If the drivers are found but are only available for previous versions of Windows, install the drivers using the Windows Compatibility Mode. Ask there about any known issues with this particular hardware device or if the device is no longer supported. Check to see if there are any users forums on the PC manufacturers or device manufacturers websites. Once this information is found, try to find that manufacturers website and look for the latest compatible drivers. I tried to download the latest copy of its device driver, but Acer's support site only allow me to pick Windows 8.1's for the latest. Try to determine the name and manufacturer of the device using Device Manager and MSInfo32. Click to install in Win8.1 compatiblity mode. This is your best source, since the computer manufacturer builds, tests, and sometimes develops their own, custom drivers to work with the hardware on their PCs. I have the same problem with my E6400 64 bit.The newest available driver from dell support was already tested (Broadcom, driver date. Click 'Start', type in Device Manager the Search bar and press 'Enter'. After upgrading my Vista Business SP2 (32-bit) to Windows 7 Ultimate RC (32-bit) my Broadcom USB smart card reader does not work any longer (Dell Latitude E6400 with built in smart card reader). Reinstall USB controllers Use the Mouse First, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps: 1. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated drivers for that device. I would like to suggest you uninstall the PCMCIA Smart Card Reader driver and reinstall USB controllers. This is a service that Microsoft provides to help these manufacturers to distribute their drivers. All of the drivers that are contained on the Windows installation disk and on Windows Update are placed there by the manufacturers of the devices.
