USB Hub

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

The Motherboard/chipset drivers are for the ONBOARD USB plugs.
Remove the USB device/hub from Device Manager.
Power off and disconnect it. Then power up.
Install the drivers for the HUB from the included CD. Reboot if necessary.
Plug it back in.
It should now find the proper driver.

Simply put - XP is a p.o.s. when it comes to dealing with USB2. Maybe
MickeyMouse will fix it one day?
