I'm being driven crazy(er)!

Whenever I boot, I get a message to the effect, "New Equipment Detected", and citing USB 2.0.

This 4-port USB card has been installed and successfully rant for at least a year or so, since I installed it. I have no idea why they are suddenly seen as "new equipment".

A window comes up, with a choice of automatic installation or browsing and choosing. Choosing automatic results in failure. The text refers to "If the new equipment came with an installation CD" etc. I don't find an installation CD in the box where I keep such things, and I don't believe that there was ever one supplied.

Since the USB ports don't install, my external harddrive is not accessible to back up, and that's nervous-making!

Any ideas?
