This worked for my W370 tracfone. Maybe it or something similar will work for the W376g

;========END OF INF========







Save the file as W370driver.INF in a location you will reference later. (e.g. Desktop)



Plug in the phone with a standard male A to male Mini-B USB cable.



At the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog, select No, not this time. Click Next.



Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced). Click Next.



Ensure Include this location in the search is the only item checked.

Click the Browse button and navigate to the location where you saved the INF earlier. Click OK.

Click Next.



The driver should install, and you will see Motorola USB Port - W370 CHARGING ONLY. Click Finish.



Unplug your phone and replug it in. The display on the phone should now read 'Charging'.

If you notice, you will see a extra port listed in the device manager.



Yay!
