Getting USB 2.0 to work on MSI K8N Neo2 Plat.

[Alex41290]

I'm really not sure what the solution to this problem is, but I'm hoping you guys can help me.

I've installed the drivers off of the MSI driver disk and followed all the instructions for Windows XP, and any device I connect is not recognized at USB 2.0. I get the error "This device can run faster. . ." etc. Maybe there is something in the BIOS that I am missing or maybe I need to reinstall the drivers, but I can't find them on the disk, and the Microsoft site doesn't say anything about doing it.

Any and all help is appreciated,

Alex

The drivers on the CD are not meant for Windows XP. If you have SP2 installed, it wiill automatically recognize USB 2.0 ports.

Here is what you will need to do:

- Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager.
- Click on the plus (+) next to USB Serial Bus Controllers
- Remove / Uninstall any displayed device that ends with "Host Controller"
- Restart your computer.
- Upon reboot, XP w/SP2 will re-recognize your USB host controllers correctly.
- Enjoy the speed of USB 2.0!

Damn...it's always the simple solutions that are so hard to find >_>.

Thanks, I'll try it as soon as I'm done with BWL *cough*.

This is essentially what I get when I go to plug in a USB 2.0 device.

I'm assuming that this is not a good sign as well:

Hoping this helps solve the problem a bit more,
