| 678890 | 2008-06-16 09:33:00 | Have just installed XP Home on an old PC GA-5AMMC Motherboard. Goes good except for the USB ports Latest drivers I could find are 2001. USB is enabled in Bios. Device manager shows "Open Host Controller" & "USB Root Hub" under USB Controllers. They were working in win98 when I started. OS is activated & now fully updated. Any ideas? |

| 678891 | 2008-06-16 09:44:00 | Is SP1, 2 or 3 installed?? Are the mobo drivers installed? You need both So its only USB 1.1?? Doesnt sound like it has USB 2 on it After you install the above reboot, delete whats under USB controllers in device manager then reboot again |

| 678892 | 2008-06-16 09:50:00 | Thanks speedy. As I said, have installed 2001 chipset drivers. Installed SP1 now updated to SP3. Have already done the other. Thats why I'm headscratching. |

| 678893 | 2008-06-16 10:00:00 | WHAT are you plugging in that isnt working? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 678894 | 2008-06-16 10:02:00 | 2 different usb memory sticks & a digital camera. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 678895 | 2008-06-16 10:13:00 | And you did install the drivers for the cam as well? Has it got a card reader, or are you plugging the sticks into the cam? |

| 678896 | 2008-06-16 10:52:00 | No not cards, usb "thumb drive" No software installed for the devices, but its not event detecting them. It's still got the old Bios, I can't find a later one, I think thats the problem. |

| 678897 | 2008-06-16 11:15:00 | Hmm could be that its only USB 1.1 onboard I think. Maybe the ports arent fast enough for the USB flash drives? But then you said they worked on 98 (was it 98 SE)? I dont think 98 supports USB 2, if these flash drives are USB 2. I think I found the Gigabyte site for the mobo, there was only 1 BIOS there Look in event viewer. See if its saying anything here |

| 678898 | 2008-06-16 11:36:00 | Yes it will be only USB 1.1 but it should still detect a flash drive. I use them on other systems with USB 1.1. When I uninstall the host controller & reboot with the flash drive connected, the system briefly detects it & shows an icon in the task bar as it is reinstalling the host controller. Then it disapears without going any further. |
