My new USB hub is not getting detected in windows 7 64 bit..?

I bought this 4 in 1 USB hub. When I plug it in the USB port of the CPU, and then plug a pen drive in the hub, it doesn't turn up in the list of drives in the computer. I can't find any drivers for the USB hub or a solution online.

I guess this is a common issue with USB devices. If anyone has faced this problem and was able to fix it, pls help me out.

    it is possible that you have plugged then suddenly unplugged it so the driver failed to install properly so it is causing the computer to get confused on the driver... since it thinks it is installed

    right click on "Computer" icon and click "manage" then "device manager" look for a {yellow exclamation mark} right click it then click "update driver software" it should work...

    Does your hub have two usb cables to plug in....its likely that the hub is not getting enough power.

    if your motherboard has triple power usb ports, use them.....

    Ensure that your motherboard drivers are uptodate.

    Try a different port on your computer. If that doesn't work then you are out of luck
