If you did a "clean reinstall", if you first reformatted the drive before
installing, then yes, you lost the drivers. You need to obtain the drivers
for the card from the manufacturer. Or perhaps you still have the CD that
came with the card? You want to be sure to follow the installation
instructions carefully.

I just did a clean reinstall of Windows 98 SE on my custom built 7 yr ols
computer and it has an added on USB card with 2 USB ports and 2 round
ports
(one is for the mouse which works). Now, my USB's are not being
recognized.
The USB card is Elpina 9837. Did I wipe out the drivers when I did the
reinstall? I am new at learning about my computer as I have not really
used
it much since I bought it yrs. ago. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
