Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded to SP2 and now it has screwed up my USB ports attached to the motherboard. Everything seems fine in the Device Manager, no red exclamation marks. I tried plugging in USB devices in the front (connected to the mobo) and back (attached to the mobo) USB ports, the devices themselves know that they are attached to a USB but the pc doesn't recognize them at all. I've tried upgrading the drivers but no such luck. The front USBs are connected properly and I have no clue why this is happening.

I installed a USB card that contains 4 ports and that works flawlessly.

I have a 848P Neo-V motherboard so I call MSI for some tech support. The crazy lady told me to upgrade the Intel Chipset which I did, but didn't work. She then suggested that I REFORMAT, which I know won't do anything but take up time.

Someone please help. Any information will greatly be appreciated!

If you have the original drivers disk that you received with the new computer, enter device manager, remove all USB drivers (except those related to the add-on card) and re-install your USB drivers again.

Good luck

I tried doing that. It still doesn't work =(

I have seen many computers that react badly to SP2. In most cases they were late Pentium 3 or early pentium 4. I don't know about your computer. Try uninstalling SP2 (which is what I do in these cases) through control panel>add/remove program. Reinstall the drivers and see what happens.

I uninstalled SP2 and installed the device drivers but the USB ports are still not working. I did the Everest thing (no clue to what the report means) and this is what it reported:

Check in the BIOS if all USB options are enabled.

Good Luck

[Maia616]

I went into the BIOS and everything is set fine. I'm still without working USB ports. I have SP2 and WIndows for recommending buggy updates!ANy other suggestions that might solve this problems? Thanks in advance guys.

[The Skeptic]

Try to remove the add-on USB card and it's driver. If that doesn't
help then I would try a repair installation of XP as described in details at the top of this forum.

Basically your problem is either a hardware one, e.g faulty chipset, or a software one. I find it difficult to believe that this is hardware. My feeling is that you have a corrupted piece of software, probably windows, which is difficuly to pin point. If all the above doesn't help, than I would definitely format the computer and start it afrash.
