Hello all,

I can see from the myriads of posts that I am not alone in
having problems with my USB devices, I have read many posts and have
Googled looking for an answer but can't find a solution to my particular
problem;

After purchasing a Canon printer about a year or so ago I was told by
WinXP SP2 that " This Device can perform faster " I clicked the USB Icon
in the tray that the balloon pointed to and a window popped up showing
under Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller -24CD, USB
Root Hub (6 Ports) Following the recommendation I disconnected from the
first port and plugged the device into each and every port all of which
resulted in the same message. At this point I plugged the USB cable into
the printers standard USB port and put up with the slow printing speeds.
This last Christmas my wife gave me a 4G MP4 player (USB 2.0) I went and
purchased a USB 2.0 compliant card and installed it, I installed the
drivers from the disc supplied. I originally thought that my motherboard
(P4PE Bios rev. 1007) did not have USB 2.0 ports although in the BIOS I
had enabled the USB 2 option. Well to my surprise I still could not
connect to a USB 2.0 hub and clicking the USB Icon in the task tray now
shows VIA USB Enhanced host controller USB Root Hub (4 Ports) in addition
to the previously mentioned Intel ones. I can't for the life of me work
out why windows insists that I'm not connected to a USB 2 port. Anyone
able to offer any ideas ?

What I have tried;

1. Checked That I have the latest BIOS for my board.
2. Removed all USB Devices from Device Manager (as well as ghosted items)
and allowed the computer to re-install (many times).
3. Unchecked the power management feature for each USB Root Hub.
4. Un-installed the add-on USB card and drivers and re-installed
5. Checked that the USB 2.0 Devices work on my wife's computer
coincidently also a P4PE (Bios rev. 1003).
6. I use a program called UVCView.x86.exe from the Microsoft site to
determine my USB 1.1 / 2.0 connections.
