Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / June 2005usb ports not working after clean install of windows xp from xp pr
is there any way to fix this? i went into bios and enabled everything. the computer is not even registering that there is something in the usb port. i know the camera i plug in is getting a signal because the lights flash. i plugged it into my mom's computer and it showed up right away. any suggestions? Hi, Have you installed SP1 or SP2. If yes, disconnect any USB devices including the USB mouse & keyboard(use PS/2 mosue and keyboard at this time). Go to device manager and check for the universal serial bus controller. If you see any yellow ? mark on the USB controllers, right click on it and then select uninstall. Click Apply or OK to confirm the uninstallation and then reboot. Windows should find new hardware and reinstall the proper USB drivers. Hope it helps.

After a clean install, be sure to install the required drivers from the motherboard maker, too. Also, to get USB 2.0 support you will need SP1 at least. (SP2 recommended).

You may need to install the corrent motherboard chipset drivers, in order for Windows Xp to be able to see the USB ports. Also, if the chipset is VIA based one, you may need to install the VIA USB filter driver. > the guys who fixed my computer installed regular xp on my box... there is > nothing plugged into the usb ports, they have their own ports... my [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >> > plugged it into my mom's computer and it showed up right away. any >> > suggestions? how do i find the motherboard chipset drivers, and how do i know if it's VIA based? thanks... > You may need to install the corrent motherboard chipset drivers, in order > for Windows Xp to be able to see the USB ports.

Hi, Go to belarc.com to download the belarc advisor or go to lavalys.com to download the Everest Home Edition. Both are free softwares to check for the spec of the OS. Everest Home Edition can provide more detail info on the OS than belarc advisor. BTW, you seemed to have installed 2 XP Pro on the same machine in different drives. If this is the case, you need to amend the boot.ini to disable one OS during boot and than remove/delete the OS. It is better to keep the OS in C drive.

Hi, It showed that your mobo is using the VIA KT133 chipsets which is rather old and should use the VIA 4 in 1 drivers version 4.43 which you can download it from viaarena.com : http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2 The sound card is Creative soundblaster Live! Download the latest XP drivers from creative.com Link: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp The vedio card is ATI Radeon 8500 DDR Download the latest catalyst driver from ati.com Link: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27 The Lan card is Realtek RTL8139 download the latest XP drivers from realtel.com.tw Link: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?series=16&Software=True#16 Windows Pls burn all the downloaded drivers to a CDR under separate folders. Note: for zipped files, unzip it before burning to a CDR Use this CDR to install the latest XP drivers after you rebuild your system. To save your time to fix unknown problems on the existing OS, I would suggest you to backup all your data files to CDR or CDRW disks than completely format all your Hdds and then rebuild your OS in scratch.
