| 606946 | 2007-10-31 23:52:00 | Ok just put in a Linix Live cd, All USB ports are working with linux running, and my flash pen drive is detected (In linux). So did all the windows updates again and it still isnt working. Should i try reinstalling windows? | Adeane (12918) | ||

So did all the windows updates again and it still isnt working. Should i try reinstalling windows? Right first of all did you try using a PS2 mouse instead of the USB mouse, just in case the mouse is causing the problem ? If the USB is working from the Live CD, and still not from windows after changing the Mouse to PS2 - then Yep ! Nuke windows, reinstall XP, install all Motherboard drivers, and see what happens. Try the USB ports after you have installed windows & Drivers, NO updates yet see if they work then. |

| 606948 | 2007-11-01 00:24:00 | Ok just found a PS2 mouse, still the USB isnt working... So I'll reinstall windows tonight (because I dont have the CD on me currently) and see how it goes. So install Windows + The drivers on the motherboard CD and test the USB? If it still doesnt work then what? | Adeane (12918) | ||
| 606949 | 2007-11-01 00:24:00 | Just an Update to my post above, if you reinstall XP, try plugging in a basic Pen Drive into the Ports BEFORE installing the Motherboard Drivers . Normally as long as its XP SP2 it will detect a basic device - this will test to see if its a driver issue from the Supplied MB CD . If it still doesnt work then what? See the pic Under my Name :lol: Serious - If that happens we'll cross that bridge when we come to it |

| 606950 | 2007-11-01 00:27:00 | Ok the windows install disk I have isnt SP2, but I have a seperate SP2 disk. Should I install SP1 then check USB? Or windows + sp2? Cheers for all your help dude. | Adeane (12918) | ||
| 606951 | 2007-11-01 00:48:00 | Ok the windows install disk I have isnt SP2, but I have a seperate SP2 disk . Should I install SP1 then check USB? Or windows + sp2? Cheers for all your help dude . Should work on SP1 as long as its a basic device, if it asks to install software click cancel even if it asks to install software . Then install the MB drivers see if they work - then SP2 . What I'm trying to see is a simple process . One step at a time, if the ports work then something is added, then they stop - theres the problem . It may be a faulty SP2 install - you never know . |

| 606952 | 2007-11-01 00:48:00 | Either since you need SP1 or 2 for USB 2 to work. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
