Unknown Device

I think that's an Intel chip -- it might be that their chipset driver,
available on their download site, would drive it properly.

Looks like your USB 2.0 driver is not installing properly as you mention.
This would become a problem if you are going to add USB devices that require
the higher transfer rate.

If you are not running SP1 then that is certainly an option. At one time
you could also twist and turn your way through the windows update catalog
and find the USB 2.0 drivers that way.

Good Luck,
Len

Hi,

I ran into a similar scenario when I installed XP and SP1 on my
P4C800-E Deluxe. My USB controller worked fine wiht USB 1.1 devices,
but USB 2.0 was not functional on all ports. I ended up with the
unknown device message as you have. The SP1 patch did not fix the
issue for me at that time. I ended up heading to the link below for a
specific patch that addresses this issue:

I installed it, the OS then recognized the device fully and I got full
USB 2.0 functions. No more unknown device. I would imagine that SP2
probably handles this correctly, but don't know from first hand
experience.

Good luck,

Ender
