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.

That is what I am saying Mark, wrong driver. Sure it seems to work and
all until you boot up once again and then XP dumps it. And XP is dumping
it because it isn't the correct driver for whatever reason.
