Ive picked up an Imation swivel usb drive 128mb, and it won't work on my main machine. I pop it in and it just says unknown device. Yea i have winxp which is suppopsed to work plug and play. I think its a problem with my asus board/drivers (it works on my shuttle system, which is also an AMD based pc, but ViA chipset). I could be wrong.. but i remember reading a long time ago there were some USB 2.0 updates available for my board (asus a7n8x delx), but can't find anything, anyone know how to fix my problem?
 
What XP service pack are you at? You need to be at SP1 or higher for USB support. If you are at SP1 then try reinstalling the nforce drivers.
 
sp2, ill try the tip. But my other usb stuff works like mx310 mouse and my logitech gamepad.
 
bump incase anyone wants to know how i fixed this curse.

After a year of not knowing why certain USB devices don't work I finally switched (in the bios) USB 2.0 support off, and kept on 1.1 only. Bang it worked.

No bios updates or drivers would work ...

Now only if i could get my mouse working in gmes like Quake 2, Deus X, UT99 etc
