USB ports do not work.

[Guest]

Hi! I built my own edit computer based on Matrox specs using one of their
hardware edit boards. Everything on the computer works flawless except one
thing. None of my USB ports are working. In device manager all usb drivers
say okay. There are no question marks, red or yellow warnings. I have gone
through the Windows help file. At this point no devices that I try(digital
camera, ipod) show up in device manager. I have:
1. Uninstalled all drivers and reinstalled multiple times.
2. Checked usb cabling and devices(all devices work fine on other computer)
3. I even bought a PCI USB card. This then saw the devices but they still
would not work, so I thought I would try again fromn scratch.
4. I also checked to see if I had all motherborad software loaded properly.
I did.
5. I also tried updating the usb drivers. This did not help either.

I did find a note in the motherboard manual on usb wake-up. Might this be
an issue?

Does anyone have any ideas. Somehow I feel like I have missed something
simple.

Look in the bios of the motherboard for usb ports. make sure the option is
enabled.

Thanks but I have visited the bios so many times my finger automatically goes
to "delete" on startup. Any more ideas (says the desperate person)? They are
enabled.

Here are a few things I found on microsoft.com, there is more to be sure but
this is a start.
