use device manager and manually assign/install the drivers?

yeah I agree that it's the drivers that you need to install, look under device manager to ensure that they are added. Click the link below and it will download a file and then unzip it and get the driver file and install the drivers:

Forgot to mention that they are drivers for 32 bit windows.

Below is another link to the drivers and also explains step by step how to install them:
