Considering ALL of the people having problems with this USB 2.0 - WinXP
SP2
incompatibility, I'm simply amazed why Microsoft is not taking this more
seriously and providing a fully regression tested fix for this problem.
In
the article KB892050 MS themselves listed the CAUSE of this problem as :
"This problem occurs because the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver causes an
Enhanced
Host Controller Interface (EHCI) specification violation". Well that's
real
great considering that the article was dated July 24, 2006. In other
words,
MS considers this problem trivial and would rather spend their time fine
tuning VISTA so everyone having USB 2.0 problems can go out and buy the
new
Vista O/S to get their USB devices working properly. Good business plan,
right ???

Wholeheartedly agree, Phil. My USB 2.0 problem with a Seagate external HDD
has so far defeated the MS "Help" (?) people here in Oz, and couldn't be
resolved in this NG - helpful though it is.
I have now put this USB 2.0 problem to the Help Line experts of the leading
PC magazine in Oz. When (if ?) I have a result, I will post it back here.

Jim.
