Toshiba 440CDT Model PA1241U-T2C USB Port Driver?

A neighbor's son came over with this laptop & wanted to know if I could get the USB port working.

Checked Device Manager & there is NO listing of USB, so I did a Find New Hardware & it found nothing.

Checked Toshiba's website for info and\or drivers, nothing was mentioned about USB support\driver...

I did download & install EVERY update available for the laptop, but still no USB is listed & the USB port doesn't recognize anything I plug into it

I also did a "Add New Hardware Manually" & selected "Infrared" then selected "built-in laptop device" then I selected "Toshiba" & Windows loaded the software.

NOTE: This laptop has Infrared & USB port on one module that plugs INTO the motherboard.

Anyway, I rebooted & got a popup message "PCI Universal Serial Port found, click next to install driver" Which I did but it did NOT find a driver. I tried EVERY Folder & EVERY SubDirectory but still "No driver found"

Now the Infrared shows as working but STILL NO USB PORT!
