[Help] - USB 2 Drivers in Service Pack 2?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have just finished a computer build and put XP on. I know the version of XP was with no service packs so i let it connect to Automatic Updates to download the service packs. It started downloading service pack 2, not 1. I presumed this was fine as i thought everything in sp1 would be in sp2, it didnt matter anyway seen as i had no way to first get sp1 as it does it automatically.

Anyway, the problem is my USB slots say they are only running at USB 1 speed and they definielty should be running at USB2 speed. I know the drivers for USB 2 were in SP1 but i thought they were in SP2 also.

Please help someone, ive sat for hours and hours now but am not getting anywhere

Surely this must happen to other people too

Oh, by the way, their are no drivers for it in my mobo CD, it just says they are in the service pack

Thanks a lot in advance

There are indeed USB 2.0 drivers in XP Service Pack 2.

I would try uninstalling all the USB devices from Device Manager and then letting Windows redetect them on reboot.

To do this

- Right-click "My Computer" and select Properties.

- Under the "Hardware" tab, click on "Device Manager"

- Scroll down to "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"

- Right click on every entry here and select "Uninstall"

- When done, reboot. Let Windows detect your devices (which it should) and install them. You may have to reboot a second time, but I don't think so for USB devices

Hope that helps!

USB2 is native from Windows XP SP1 & Windows 2000 SP4 ...

If ports works at low speed check your bios and search ECHI Enhanced "Enabled" / USB Speed "HiSpeed" / USB2 Support "Enable" ...

Goodbye.
