I only suggested that, because i had similar problem last month, when i
upgraded to xp from 98se.
The Device manager claimed that everything was working perfectly, but msinfo
claimed several
pci devices where NOT functioning at all and my usb controllers where
running in 1.1 mode.
In my case i have an an ECS N2U400-A motherboard.
And even I thought everything was ok, i still had to install drivers i didnt
think i needed.
And as i'm typing i realize, that my 1st post should have suggested you do
the same thing i did ......
Run the System Information Tool (Start | All Programs | Accessories | System
Tools | System Info).
IN the left pane, expand the Components tree and select Problem Devices.
This should tell what hardware devices windows knows it is having problems
with.
Take that info and check the appropriate manufacturer's support site for for
any info/patches or the such, for anything that may address the issue or
email them directly
