My motherboard apparently has USB 2.0 support (http://www.msicomputer.com/product [...] 2_platinum) but for some reason it isn't working... I never noticed before because I would use Firewire for my iPod. But, the new iPod doesn't support Firewire with Windows, so I have to use USB.

The key to knowing you have USB 2.0 enabled is in device manager, under USB, it has something along the lines of "Enhanced USB Controller." My system is lacking "Enhanced." There is no BIOS setting to turn on 2.0 or not, it is just to enable the USB controller.

I have the latest BIOS installed, and the latest nForce drivers. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I got it working.... Deleted the drivers, disabled USB in BIOS, re-enabled, reinstalled drivers.
