XP killed my onboard USB

I have 6 USB ports based out of 3 different controllers built into the Motherbooard. They all ran smoothly in a Windows2000 environment but as soon as I upgraded to XP ProSP1 they ceased to function but are detected on boot up( the driver installs error out though). I have Upgraded the MB bios, disabled the onboard controllers using the bios utility, deleted, disabled and otherwise recreated the instances of the USB controllers just about everywhich way I could possibly think of. At the moment I have 2 of the 3 controllers disabled in the hopes that some critical update will coincidentally fix it. Little help out there?

Have you tried installing drivers from the manufacturers website?
