Problem with USB

zorchris · 07-08-2005, 11:57 AM

Hi there,
I have a P4M266A motherboard with 6 USB ports on it and I cannot install the drivers for them. In the Device manager there is not a sign of those 6 USB ports.
Any suggestions pls???

did you get a cd with the drivers on?

The USB controllers should be listed at the bottom of Device Manager. If you don't see them, you probably didn't connect the ports correctly to your motherboard. And if you're using XP, you most likely won't have to worry about the drivers because XP will install generic ones for you.

xp has never installed any generic usb divers for me.

Unfortunately I don't have the drivers cd came with the pc. I have downloaded many drivers and none of them worked.

I have Windows XP on the pc and the USBs are not listed anywhere in the Device Manager.

I have used the drivers found in this page and problem still exists
