USB 2.0 Cards and Drivers

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I have installed 2 seperate USB 2.0 PCI cards under
Windows XP. The first was a no-name card, the 2nd was a
Belkin F5U220 5-port card. I have Windows XP with SP1.
Under both installations, after installing the cards and
rebooting, the device manager does not show a "USB 2.0
Root Hub device". When I plug in my USB 2.0 device (an
Ipop), I get warning messages that the USB 2.0 device is
being plugged into a standard USB port and will suffer
performance problems. Obviously the port is on my new
card, so it is a 2.0 port. I have checked the driver
versions on all the root hubs and they are all the driver
that Windows says should be the correct one (although
instead of Aug 2002, the date is July 2001). I tried the
manufacturers drivers (both for via and nec chipsets) and
thoxse don't work either. Any ideas out there?

The article refers to USB 2.0 EHCI Host Controller under
the USB section of deviec manager. I DO NOT HAVE any
such device listed in either USB Controllers or Other as
the article says.

I really need more help with this as I am ready to tear
whats left of my hair out....

EHCI = Enhanced Host Controller Interface = a fancy acronym for USB 2.0 interface card

XP did not include support for USB 2.0 until service pack 1 come out. If you don't see "USB Enhanced Host Controller," XP is not recognizing those add on boards.

Go to Windows update to see if their is a update/patch for USB

Also, i have that Belkin card and after buying, (as you said) a 'no name
card' i found it was the no name card that would NOT work, bought the belkin
and that chipset must have been compatible with XP because it works
perfectly.. I would not have guessed it made any difference, hardware, that
is, because USB 2.0 is enabled with SP1 and the 'standard' should be
universal, if you know what i mean. If you buy another Belkin card to match
the one you already have, i bet this would help solve the situation in
addition to what others have told you on this forum, which all sounds
correct, basedon what i learned here... The Belkin card cost me $40. at best
Buy! The no name was about $12.00....

That is a good possibility knowing Dells.

try this:

Dell Single Page BIOS reset:
Boot to system setup. Turn on Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, Num Lock,
Press ALT+E then ALT+F then ALT+B

IDE devices should redetect on reboot.

I have the same problem. After SP1 was applied, my Adaptec USB2Connect
4000 stopped recognizing USB 2.0 devices.
I run Win98 on the same machine and the devices continue to run.

I have the latest drivers from Adaptec installed plus all the hot fixes I
can find from Microsoft.
