USB 2.0 Enhanced Controller

I need help finding, and installing, this controller. Search of the MS
website produces information relating to Service Pack 1. I have WinXP Pro SP
3 installed. I have USB 2.0 controllers, but not the enhanced version. I
now have a peripheral that requires the enhanced version. Any help with this
would be appreciated.

You need the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility to do it for
you. Go to the Intel web site he
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...4&submit=Go%21
and get INF Update Utility - Zip Format (2231KB).

I have a similar problem, but the chipset is VIA K8N800/VT8235m-ce.
Is the Intel stuff gonna help?

I keep all my installed drivers in a single folder, for reference.
If I search in there, there is no mention of USB in the VIAMach
section of the driver package. The VIA Hyperion (A.K.A. "4 in 1")
driver package does enumerate System devices, and the details
can be found in the VIAMach folder. But neither Dev 3038 (USB 1.1)
nor Dev 3104 (USB 2.0) can be found in there.

If, instead, I go to the Windows folder "INF", and search the text
in there, I get a match in the "usbport.inf" file. If you open that
file with Notepad

C:\WINDOWS\inf\usbport.inf

there are references to both PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3038 and PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3104.

USB drivers are now part of the OS installation. USB2 has been
part of WinXP, since the release of SP1. In fact, hardware manufacturers
are forbidden by the terms of the license, to bundle USB2 drivers
since the release of SP1. And this is why, even for the mighty
Intel, if you examine their driver package carefully, you'll find
the USB section is stubbed out. (I.e. Even though it may say USB
drivers are there, nothing happens when they run. At least the
ones I've bothered to examine.)

To install USB drivers, you need some way to convince WinXP to
re-enumerate the USB devices. usbman.com has a procedure that
can be done in Safe Mode. Another site has an automated
tool, for doing much the same thing. It uses Microsoft "devcon"
as a helper.

I suspect, if you were to use one of those two options, the
drivers which are built into WinXP, should install themselves.
(Read both these links, before doing anything.)

http://www.usbman.com/Guides/Cleanup...afe%20Mode.htm

http://www.usbman.com/Guides/checking_for_usb_2.htm

This is an automated way of doing the same thing.
Undoubtedly, there are other automated ways like this
available on other sites.

(See "RenewUSB.bat")

If you need the VIA Hyperion 4-in-1 drivers, those can be
obtained from the download link on Viaarena.com .

You are not being very clear. You say that you have a USB2 based PC.
Provided that it supports the high speed mode of communication (what most
people incorrectly describe as USB2), then you *are* using the enhanced USB
ports.

Nope. With VIA you'd need to get the Hyperion drivers he

To add to the information in a general manner...

Hardware drivers of a vendor are specfic in nature. They are specific to
the vendor (Intel or AMD for instance), and the specific version and type of
hardware in question.

Normally, if not available at your location, an appropriate driver is
available by way of the internet from the hardware vendor. The previous
reply did that footwork for you by locating same and providing a weblink to
same. A word of appreciation is appropriate.
