Re: USB won't recognize sophisticated devices.

I can enter and navigate BIOS after bootup with the keyboard plugged into
a USB port, and once XP starts it doesn't work. However, the mouse shows
no lights or other sign of life at either stage.

I can find no reference to USB2 in Device Manager. There is a 'standard
enhanced USB to PCI host controller'. I would not assume the drivers were
properly installed. I paid a local computer ' expert' to install my new
motherboard, but the fact that he kept asking me where I thought the
various connections should go, did not fill me with confidence!

How can I ensure that USB2 and Enhanced USB are enabled, and the drivers
are installed?

Thanks

Gary

I would say your lack of confidence in your 'expert' is well founded. The
word enhanced indicates USB2 of some sort, but the description is
puzzling, so I have some other questions. Besides the direct motherboard
mounted USB sockets, do you have any mounted on a backplane slot
cover, any case front USB ports, or a separate USB PCI card?
