Hi all, I am having problems with Windows XP and USB 2.0. I have many USB 2.0 devices but every port I plug them into brings up a message saying "This device will perform faster if you plug it into a USB 2.0 Hub". I have done what it says on the Gigabyte website and let MS install its USB 2.0 drivers...no joy! The following hardware is listed in device manager: USB 2.0 Root Hub USB Root Hub USB Root Hub USB Root Hub VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host ControllerVIA USB Enhanced Host Controller Has anyone got any ideas? Cheers!

Oh and I've tried both MS and Via drivers....no joy on either!

Same MOBO as mine so can confirm USB2 works ! From memory you need at least SP1 and MS have a couple of patches but you said you did that. The only differences I see in my Device Manager is that I show 4 USB Root Hubs and the last entry is named... VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller Which suggests you may need to reinstall the VIA chipset drivers. Coincidentally I downloaded these just a couple of days ago from: www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2

heres something that usually helps with USB problems first disconnect all USB devices possible to disconnect if you go to device manager open up the category called "Universal Serial Bus" click on each entry with the phrase "Host Controller" in it so it is highlighted then press DELETE on keyboard, and agree to removing the device keep doing this until the category called Universal Serial Bus is gone or the computer locks up shut the system down, and start it up again this will refresh most of the DMA, IRQ & memory address assignments on the system as well as finding any corrupt drivers fixes most USB probs Enjoy
