NOTE: For many USB devices, the Windows XP operating system provides default USB drivers. While these
default drivers may, in fact, work with your USB devices, it is recommended that you install the manufacturer-
supplied USB drivers to optimize functionality and performance of your USB devices. The manufacturer-
supplied USB driver should be installed on any computer, Local or Remote, where the USB devices will be
logically (not necessarily physically) attached.
