Every so often someone asks me how to get device "xxx" working.  Obviously the 1st stage to this is to finding the right device driver.  Sometimes this can be hard to track down - one thing to look for is the hardare ID from device manager.  The ID is made up of the bus type, vendor, major and minor ids.  You can do a search for the vendor ID on the internet and once you have that, try their site for a device driver.  This is sometimes a long winded process, but normally yields results.

One alternative that I spotted today to this was the Microsoft Technet site for drivers.  This site has both Microsoft controlled and non-affiliated sites that can help with the device driver searching.

When Vista comes along, searching for device drivers will be an even bigger goal of the Update function that ships in the box.
