Ciao wizard,
volevo inanzi tutto ringraziarti per avermi risposto, ma purtroppo il problema non sono riuscito a risoverlo. Quando installo i driver mi da un errore nelle ultime quattro stringhe, quindi l'installazione non va a buon fine.
cmq grazie tante per il supporto

dimenticavo l'errore che mi da è questo:
