I have a computer desktop thats now a few years old. It has onboard
an Intel 82801BA/BAM USB 1 controler. Because I wanted to upgrade to
hi speed, it purchased a PCI USB 2.0 controller, which the system
reports as a VIA Rev 5 or later. From the very start XP refused to
recognise it as USB 2, and I was getting the stupid message "your
device can perform faster" etc, everyting time I pluged ANY USB2
device. I did manage to find some VIA specific drivers on the
internet that appeared to fix the problem, but only as long as I did
not switch the computer off (standard reboot does not effect it).
When I perform a cold boot the VIA USB2 Enhanced Host Controler has
vanished, and again I get the daft "your device can perform faster". I
now have the problem of having to reinstall the drivers evertime I
want to use my webcam, memory stick, etc. This is driving me crazy,
and obviously is not what should be happening. Strangly, if I view
hidden devices in device manager, it still exists, but greyed out.
Note that I only plug USB1 devices (keyboard, mouse etc) into the
onboard intel USB 1 ports. Please note that the system BIOS is running
latest version.

Any ideas on my problem would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like it isn't the right driver to me.


Driver : VIA Technologies, Inc
Date : 09/09/2002
Version : 5.1.2600.1106

When I reinstall the driver, and reboot works very good, no problem.
Shutdown and switch off, next day does not work, and vanished. Driver
again needs installing again.
