What is the make/model of your laptop? There may be specific USB controller drivers for it.
If you have a motherboard CD that came with it, check to see if there is anything related to USB. The drivers may not be installed (in which case you will have to "update drivers" or remove the unknown device and install the drivers on reboot).
