From VIA Technology:
"Due to licensing agreements, USB 2.0 drivers are not available for
download [from VIA]. USB 2.0 drivers are supplied on CD with new
mainboards or new cards. If you have misplaced the driver CD or have
questions about the USB 2.0 driver, please contact your motherboard
manufacturer, the manufacturer of the USB 2.0 PCI card, or Microsoft."
From Asus:
"Please go to 'Windows Update' (
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) to
install Microsoft USB 2.0 Host Controller Driver or Windows XP Service
Pack 1. "
So, it seems that neither VIA nor Asus supply the Windows XP drivers.
This leaves contacting Microsoft...
Good luck!
