Re: computer freezes USB2 driver problem?

Hi

I have installed the environment variable (after I posted I looked around
and thought that that might be the way, but I was not sure).

There are no greyed out USB entries.

The only PCI card added to the machine is the video card (NVidia GeForce
6200SE TurboCache) supplied by Compaq/HP with the PC. The USBs, Firewires,
Network, Memory Card Readers, etc are 'on the case'. I did remove the
original modem from the PC as I was connecting to the net through my network.

Any suggestions? Can I redirect the USB controller (USB-1) to another IRQ?
17 looks clear. If so, how can I do that?

In a normal ACPI setup, I've never seen the Enhanced (USB2)
controller sharing an IRQ with a Full Speed (USB-1) controller.
That's especially true of it using the highest order IRQ 23.

DevMgr_Show_NonPresent_Devices is added from the System
applet, Advanced, Environment Variables (System category) in
Control Panel w/ Classic View enabled.

Something is tangled up somewhere - believe enabling full view
of Device Manager will help. How many PCI add-in cards do
you have installed in this PC ?

That all sounds great. I have reactivated the enhanced controller and run
MSinfo32. It came up with two USB controllers using IRQ 23.
The first was:
Intel(R)82801G(ICH7 Family)USB Universall Host Controller - 27C8 (the
first
of my 5 in the Device Manager list),
The second was: Intel(R)8 ..... Enhanced Host Controller -27CC (the last
of
my 5 in DM)

You talk about 'posting back' the first device. How do I do that?

You also talk about adding a system variable to view the full table in DM.
Sounds extremely useful. Again how do I do that?

Sorry if I am a bit useless (the old story of a little knowledge being
dangerous ... but hopefuly I am learning all the time).

You need to check IRQ allocations on the PC. Click Start, Run
(Type) MSinfo32 [OK]. Once the applet opens, expand the
Hardware Resources category and then the IRQs sub-category.
Make note of the highest IRQ # (15 or 23) and also locate the
Enhanced USB controller and post back all other devices that
might be sharing that same IRQ #.

You would also benefit from viewing a full table of Devices inside
device manager:
1.) Add System Variable named DevMgr_Show_NonPresent_Devices
and set it's value = 1
2.) Open Device Manager, Click View & tic/check "Show Hidden
Devices

Then scan your USB category for any entries shown in diminished
tone or grayed out (Phantoms).

My PC has been freezing up increasingly over the past few weeks. I have
checked the hardware, temperatures, etc and all seems OK. I have been
through
all the startup files and cleaned out any rubbish. I have reduced the
XP
bits
and pieces taking memory resources. None of these seem to have made a
difference.

The PC operates OK when booted in safe mode.

Therefore, I have disabled all the devices (one by one) in Device
Manager.

I have 5 original USB2 ports in the PC (Compaq desktop with Pentium D).
When
I disable one of the USB controllers (the enhanced one) all the
problems
go
away. BUT all the USBs revert to 1.1 - this makes backups a little
slow!!!
Trying to update the driver tells me that there is no newer driver
available.

Today I deleted the USB controller drivers in Device Manager (Safe
Mode)
and
rebooted to reinstall the drivers. The problem came back!!!

Can anyone help me? I am moving home in 12 days and want to sort it
before
then if I can as I will be without broadband for a little while.....

David (surrounded with boxes) :-(
