382592 2005-08-20 23:11:00 I have installed a PCI USB2.0 card. The card functions perfectly and recognises all attached devices, HOWEVER when I SHUTDOWN my PC the drivers need to be reinstalled and the system rebooted for the card to recognise the devices attached.

If I just reboot I have no problems, this only occurs when I SHUTDOWN....any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

DRIVER = VIA USB2.0 Ver 2.52 (supplied with PCI board)
OP SYSTEM = WINXP Pro (SP2)
Board = Soltek 75KV+/75KV2/75JV/75JV2
Board has USB1. which runs fine

382593 2005-08-20 23:19:00 Hi, and Welcome to PressF1 :)

Have you tried the PCI card in a different slot? Do you have a spare computer you can try the PCI card out in to help eliminate a hardware fault?

382594 2005-08-20 23:22:00 Did u install the drivers that came with the PCI card? Or did XP install them??

XP should have detected the card, and installed the drivers for you.

382595 2005-08-21 01:28:00 As above, I have tried different PCI slots, and have tried both WinXp drivers and the drivers that came with the card.

I don't believe that there is a hardware fault, as even though the OS does not recognise the devices when first started after SHUTDOWN, the card is still powering the attached devices.....

I have also tried with the USB 1. disabled and the IRQ for USB disabled, this also doesn't help.....

Thanks for your ideas in any case..... :badpc:

382596 2005-08-21 02:08:00 Go to device manager and delete the Universal serial bus controllers entry.

Then reboot. XP will re-detect the USB. See if that fixes it. And see if XP installs drivers for it.

382597 2005-08-21 02:25:00 I had similar problems - W98se - Soltek SL-75 KAV MB. Cured by going into the BIOS - PNP/PCI config, and in the setting "Assign IRQ for USB" change "enabled" to "disabled" Hope this helps in your case. Bye :)
Just re read and see you tried this allready - bummer

HI tried that, it works fine with XP drivers, BUT as soon as I shut down again I am back to square one..... :confused:

382600 2005-08-21 08:25:00 If you've tried every PCI slot and u deleted the entry for USB (which I see you did), there's not much else u can do!

I would take it back and get a better PCI card.

When the drivers are installed and its working, whats the entry say in device manager for it?

Is anything conflicting in device manager? Anything with an X ? ! beside it?
