I am obviously stupid

but I cannot install FLIR drivers ver 1.9.
Here is what I do:
-Install drivers on WinXP Pro SP3
-Reboot PC
-Hard off the camera
-Boot PC
-Login Windows
-Then I plug the USB and
IF the camera was off or stand-by it shows battery, but nothing else. However, New Drivers are found on my PC, which is FLIR USB Device, Flir Video etc., as it should be.
However, in a moment these names are replaced with Generic USB Volume and Generic USB video.

IF the camera was already full-on, it behaves quite the same.
I tried to manually locate and replace drivers from the Drivers installation folder. There I found 2 versions of Video USB Driver and USB device driver, among others.
But none of them installed! It keeps saying: there is no info about hardware in this *.inf WTF&!!!*@($*&$$@(&&

I also tried to connect FlirInstallNet with this drivers. It does, however it lists Generic USB video only and not FLIR.
It connects to the device, but I am afraid to use 'wrong drivers' for such the important and risky operation.
I tried to GetHwInfo and check files buitton in the utility. In the first case it mostly returns empty strings in a message box.
In the second, it complains there is no CRCkit and ProdKit found...
I am about to panic
