USB 2.0 is not just a driver. You also need the USB 2.0 'enhanced" controller
listed in Device Manager. Do you have one?

How do you know that USB 2 isn't working? What messages are you getting?

It really would be a good idea that instead of providing little snippets of
information re your problem, you provide details as to the system you're
working with, for example...

What's the PC?
The make & model of your motherboard?
Did the problem just appear "out of the blue"? How & when did it arise?
Was the system working fine one day with respect to your USB situation and
all of a sudden there was a problem?
What have you done, if anything, to correct the problem?
Do you have *any* clue as to what's causing this problem?
What do you mean when you say "I just found out that usb 2.0 have not
updated..." What exactly does this mean?
Why are you uninstalling & reinstalling drivers? Just to see if that's at
the root of your problem? Do you have auxiliary USB 2.0 drivers provided by
the motherboard's manufacturer? Is that what you're trying to install?

And finally, is there any reason to believe that your system simply doesn't
support USB 2.0?

Here are some "troubleshooting tips" re USB 2.0 non-recognition problems.
See if any of it helps...

1. Access Disk Management and see if the USB device is listed. If so, and
there's no drive letter assigned, see if you can assign a drive letter to
the device.
2. If the USB device is listed in Disk Management with an assigned drive
letter, right-click on its listing and select Explore from the submenu.
Hopefully, Windows Explorer will open and the device will be listed.
3. Connect the USB device *directly* to a USB port on the computer, not via
a USB hub. Try different USB ports should your computer have multiple ports.
4. Avoid using a USB extension cable.
5. Try connecting a USB device (that does not contain an auxiliary power
supply) to a USB port both before and after the boot operation.
6. Where a USB (or Firewire) external HDD is involved, access Device
Manager, highlight the Disk drives listing and click on the Action menu item
and then the "Scan for hardware changes" sub-menu item. Do the same in Disk
Management > Action > Rescan disks.
7. Try alternate powering on/off methods. If the USB device contains its own
power supply, try booting up with its power on, then try powering on only
*after* the system has booted to a Desktop.
8. Try a different USB cable.
9. In the USB controllers section of Device Manager, uninstall all the USB
controllers listed and reboot.
10. If the device in question is not a commercial USB external HDD but
rather one in which you installed a HDD in a USB enclosure, jumper the HDD
as Master (or Single if the HDD is a Western Digital disk). A number of
users have reported that jumper configuration corrected their
non-recognition problem. In my own experience it didn't seem to matter how a
USB external HDD was jumpered. But it may be worth a try.
11. If the device in question is a USB external HDD, first check out the HDD
with the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic utility. If it checks out OK,
and you can remove the HDD from its enclosure (without voiding any
applicable warranty), do so and install the HDD as an internal HDD to
determine if there are problems with the drive.
12. If the USB device is connected to a USB 2.0 PCI card, try changing the
PCI slot to which it's currently connected to another one.
13. Access the website of the manufacturer of the USB device to determine if
there's any firmware update or info re the problem you're experiencing or
there's any possibility that the USB enclosure itself might be defective.
14. Determine from the manufacturer of your motherboard whether there's a
BIOS upgrade affecting USB device recognition.
