Hi stevedude...

Are there any problem notifiers (yellow ! of ?) in the Device Manager for the Universal Serial Bus controllers catagory? USB may, indeed, need to be enabled in the BIOS settings.

Yep...right one that time...jsut takes a bit to wade through it.

Download and run SiS USB Registry Patch.
This patch fixes the undetectable problem with SiS USB controller on Windows XP

Note: After you apply the patch, you may need to refresh the USB driver stack...Remove all USB devices (except USB keyboard and/or mouse) from the Device Manager (right click and select uninstall) in the following order:

• Devices
• HID and/or Composite USB
• USB Root Hub(s)
• USB Host Controller(S)

Shutdown and reboot...let me know if this helps.

Do you have your XP installation cd handy? Everything I am finding points to the usb.inf file being either missing or corrupt. The easiest way to repair this is to run a Windows XP Repair. You will need your cd and Product Key to accomplish this procedure.

REPAIR your installation of XP. This procedure will not damage or change your current files or settings...it will just repair or replace damaged system files. You will be asked for your Installation CD and may be asked for your product key. Follow the instructions carefully...print them out if you can. Note: This option is not always available on OEM Recovery Cd's

You will need to reinstall all Windows Updates once this has completed.

There are other methods to do this, but the Repair is the most reliable.

Let me know how you want to proceed...
