USB 2.0 keeps reverting to USB 1
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. My system is as follows Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600) Install Language: English (United States) System Locale: English (United Kingdom) Installed: 10/12/2008 12:21:27 1.60 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 8 kilobyte primary memory cache 256 kilobyte secondary memory cache Not hyper-threaded Viglen W2KSEL 00:03:47:E5:73:40 System Serial Number: 1550451 Board: Intel Corporation D850MV AAA56423-301 Serial Number: IUMV20712429 Bus Clock: 100 megahertz BIOS: Intel Corp. MV85010A.86A.0067.P24.0304081124 04/08/2003 Any ideas on my problem would be very appreciated. Thanks |
