The "universal serial bus controllers" are normally listed at the bottom, I
assume you can see them but windows reports they are working correctly.
Although XP does have support for USB 1 & 2 you sometimes need drivers
specific for the motherboard you are using. (it's worth checking) other than
that you could uninstall the current drivers and let windows re-detect the
devices.

all the best
