Thanks for the try, but I've already tried that 5 times. That's why I said
"Anybody have ideas - other than reinstall the USB drivers or the chipset
drivers?"

I finally gave up on USB2.0 and set my BIOS to USB1.1. Now I can at least
use my peripherals, albeit slowly. It's better than nothing.

If you google USB + "service pack 2" you'll see tons of people are having
this problem, and deleting the USB devices and reinstalling the drivers does
not work for everybody. Hopefully Microsoft is working on a fix.
