After a couple of reinstalls, I can no longer get USB anything to work.
I'm using Win 2K pro SP4 though.

when I installed the driver for the boards USB, I got a message saying that there was an error and the file couldn't be found which is clap trap as I have the file on another partition on the C: drive.

It's chuffing doing my head in.

I have checked that a USB card reader, that worked on this machine before, still works on another PC and it does. That PC is running Win2K SP4 as well.

My device manager shows no errors..

And these are the USB files in system32..

Will a similar registry edit work for this?

Thanks, but I already have SP4 installed. Do you mean I should reinstall it?

I have just noticed that in my current set up the USB drivers are ..

Intel 82801EB - USB Universal Host Controller - 24D* drivers (As shown above)

Were as in my previously working USB set up (as shown in my sig) they were..

Intel 82801EB ICH5 - USB Controller [A2/A3]

I don't know why they aren't the same as before, but when I do a search for the Intel 82801EB ICH5 - USB Controller [A2/A3] all I find is reference to Ac97 Audio drivers.

kleefarr, on these installs, are you installing the chipset drivers FIRST?

**kleefarr** · September 28th, 2009, 09:14 AM

Yes CCT, fairly sure I am. Normally do anyway.

**CCT** · September 28th, 2009, 09:39 AM

I cannot see any system info posted for you - need complete specs for the computer.

**kleefarr** · September 28th, 2009, 11:29 AM

In my signature.

**CCT** · September 29th, 2009, 06:49 AM

Have you verified in Bios that USB Legcy is set as Enabled, USB 2 is set Enabled, and USB high speed is set ?

Then, re-install the chipset and reboot and then re-install the USB drivers.

1. USB BIOS settings

USB Function - 8 USB Ports
Legacy USB Support - Auto
USB 2.0 Controller - Enabled
USB 2.0 Controller Mode -HiSpeed
USB Mass Storage Device Config - USB Mass Storgae Delay 20 Secs

2. Reinstalled Chipset drivers

3. Reinstalled USB Drivers

"Suitable driver already installed"
"Error, Can not find file specified"

Check the procedure here; http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...ed-during.html

AND, set the USB Legacy to Enabled, NOT auto.

**kleefarr** · September 30th, 2009, 12:24 PM

Changed BIOS to USB Enabled.
Check the registry entry and 'RunOnce' was already there.
Deleted it and add a new one anyway.
No change.

Very infuriating!
