=======================================================
|
| Had a very similar problem. New motherboard (VIA chips)has
USB2 ports.
| New install of XP Pro W/SP2 on CD will set them to 1.1
only. Updated
| Bios, uninstalled and reinstalled everything a dozen times
to no avail.
| Via won't supply drivers 'cause they are in XP. Mobo
vendor has same
| reason. M$ usual: "We don't write the drivers." Read
"SCREW YOU".
| Bought a 3 port USB2 card (VIA chip). XP wouldn't set it
for USB2
| either. Went to card vendors' site and found a file that
would make it
| "more compatible" (what ever that means). Ran the file and
now at least
| the add-on card works. Does USB sound like rocket science?
Serial
| protocols have been around since day one. I've never seen
so much
| energy spent trying to get something to work. Why can't
someone get it
| right?
