Try googling for those filenames, vs376f.exe vs376f.r00 It looks like a RAR format though, it is exceedingly rare to see manufacturers package drivers like this so I'd wonder if someone had repackaged it... which could be bad for various reasons, or on occasion good, if someone went in and fixed it to work... I wouldn't count on it though. |
