PLEASE Help me with USB and KT7

if this is the kt266 via chipset...its a bug effecting thousands of people. Try the usb filter patch (beta)
(it didn't work for me..but did for the majority using usb mice or keyboards. Don't uninstall the filter cause it will corrupt the usb root hub portion of the registry --or at least, that's what it did to me.)


or wait and then buy the kt266a solution due out soon.

There is help at the microsoft website....

A patch you need to install is at:

the file is named 240075up.exe (english version)

HOpe this helps you

I had the same problem with my KG7-Raid MB and this fixed it!!!!!

However.. DO NOT use the USB filter patch... it is only for windows 95

thanks for the responses. I've tried the MS patch and the filter patch. No luck. still randomly works. It work for three consecutive days ,but today upon turning on the PC, control panel doesn't show it. My motherboard is the abit kt-7. which I believe is based on the kt-133 chipset. Is there a mb out there that works with AMD anthlon chips that won't give me this problem, or should I go back to intel?

thanks

This really sounds like an operating system problem. I am guessing that somewhere along the line a set of drivers either did not get installed, the wrong drivers were installed, or you are just cursed (Kidding!)

The KT7 CAN work... Before you spend money on new hardware, I would strongly suggest you (errrrrg   ) do the format C: thingy, and be VERY sure you follow the instructions at the back of the User manual for AMD driver installation. Then make sure you do the Windows Update thingy. THEN, start installing your PCI cards, THEN install your USB stufforz!

Good Luck Bud...!
