I had to reinstall Vista Ultimate 64 because I was having troubles with it.
After the clean install. Windows cannot find drivers for my USB 2.0 Card,
USB Wireless card and my USB HD TV Tuner. All of these devices had their
drivers discovered by windows originally. No matter what i do windows cannot
find drivers for these.

Does anybody know what i should do

When it asks to install the driver, point to the Windows folder.

I did get the drivers for the Tv tuner and that worked fine. I tried to get
drivers for the USB 2.0 PCI card and VIA does not have any such drivers on
their website.

I went to Belkins website for the Belkin USB WAN drivers and for my
revision, they say there are no vista 64 drivers, only vista 32 which are in
beta.

The wierd thing is, is that WAN was recognized by vista 64 and worked fine
for almost a year.

Look for "chipset" drivers.
