    I think it is in the BIOS setup. Reboot, and hit ESC or Del, whichever opens BIOS setup. Read through the menus and find the one pertaining to Plug and Play and enable it. Save and Exit and it should work.

    Another thing you might do is Right click My Computer and click Properties. Click Hardware, Device Manager. Scroll down to System devices and look for Plug and Play Software Device enumerator. Right click on that and Update the driver.
