Can't See Any Usb Hardware

Post by Sepu »

Hi there
I just formatted and installed Windows XP on a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo T computer.
I installated the USB drivers too, but when I try to insert an USB-Pen, an ADSL modem or other USB hardware, the PC doesn't start to check for new hardware connected.
You know, usually it will show you something.
Seems like the USB port aren't connected to the MOBO.

I checked into the tower, the back USB ports are integrate into the MOBO, and front USB ports are connected to the MOBO with a cable.

What's the problem for u guyz?
Thanks
Chris

Hmm, try to re-install the drivers that came on your mobo's cd if you can. Have you tried looking for driver updates on the website of the mobo manufacturer?

I installed the USB drivers by Microsoft, I dunno if there are other drivers for the MOBO.
The only drivers I found on the fujitsu website for this PC are for the intel chipset... :unsure:

The drivers available for this PC on the website are:

-Intel chipset installation software utility
-Video drivers
-Audio drivers

EDIT: I checked the drivers, they are the same as the ones I've on my other PC, but here the USB ports don't work:s

I just installed SP2 too, but it didn't resolve the problem.
When I connect an USB-pen I can't see nothing on the monitor :wacko:

I bought and installed a PCI card with 4 USB, it works correctly.
Finally I think the chip with the USB controller on the MOBO it's fucked, that's the reason why the normal ports don't work ;)
