How do I enable USB 2.0?

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

For some reason I can't get USB 2.0 ports on my
motherboard (Intel D875PBZ) that supposed to have eight of
them to work in USB 2.0 environment. I do have "enhanced"
beside one of the ports but I would like to have all of
them as a USB 2.0. once I plug my Maxtor HD to it shows me
some message about USB 2.0 device being plugged into a USB
1.1 port.
Can someone help me with this?

Thank you for the reply.
It didn't work - everything went back to USB 1.1. I do
have latest BIOS and all patches and service packs from
the Microsoft. For some reason one port is still as a USB
2.0 but the rest of them remains as a USB 1.1. That USB
2.0 I hat to force during the windows setup because
originally all of them were 1.1s. shouldn't windows pick
up the wrong drivers and replace them with the right ones.
BTW - I did enable USB2.0 in the bios.
Thanks
Sam

Hi Splawik,

This is just a thought. Try going to device Mgr. and updating the drivers
for each port, one-at-a-time.

I just wanted to drop a line and thank you folks for helping me solve the issue I was having getting my 2.0 enabled (it wasn't enabled in BIOS).

You turned what could have been a 8 hour ipod sync into about half an hour, thanks a lot!
