Same problem as aldwellangel (04-30-2014): failed attempt to install device driver. The error message was preceded by a message box entitled "Installing device driver software" which said it was "Searching preconfigured driver folders ...". Problem started some months ago for no apparent reason, but its only effect seems to be to delay startup. At the same time a similar problem occurred with "IDT High Definition Audio Codec"; this was solved by installing the driver from the hp site.
I downloaded and installed the 64 bit driver in accordance with the posted Solution, but that made no difference. I then downloaded the 32 bit driver. It would not install, the installation program reported "No driver was supported in this driver package".
I am running an hp Pavilion dv7 with Win7 up to date.
