IO-Magic External CD-RW device driver?

I'm having one heck of a time here. I bought a lovely new external cd-rw device
from IO-Magic. It connects via a USB cable, and has installation software and the
whole nine yards.
I installed everything and got it up and running, then my unit stopped working.
So, I removed the unit, and uninstalled the software, until I could exchange the
unit for a new one a few weeks later. Now I know the unit works, but I can't seem
to get the software to work properly. My computer detects the USB_Storage device
attached, but can't seem to find a device driver(I thought that's what the device
driver cd was supposed to install). I've ask IO-Magic for help, but they keep telling
me to do the same things I've done, which is install the device driver from the cd,
then reboot. But like I said, that's not working. Anyone have any ideas on how
to fix this problem? By the way, the unit I have is that shiny new 52x24x52 external
CD-RW, model # BCE 5224UI

Check in Device Manager that the drive is removed from there following uninstall.
When re-installing browse to the actual folder on the CD containing the required
driver files, you may want to look at the CD files from Explorer beforehand so you
know where they are.

Just a thought--does the unit require not being connected to the USB port during
installation of the software???

Thanks for your reply. I've actually thought of that one already, but the installation
cd contains only one exe file that is supposed to install all the necessary files.
Apparently, IO-Magic placed all the necessary files inside the exe file, instead
of making them a supplimental by including them in sub-directories.
