USB problems

Jameslee · 29 Mar 2007 at 11:45

On my pc I'm having usb problems where my usb keyboard will work, as will the mouse. But peripherals such as USB memory sticks and wireless usb dongles aren't working. They are coming up as unknown devices, and after installing drivers for them I'm still having no luck.

I've checked my motherboard's website, and I can't seem to find anything to download that will help.

My motherboard is a Foxconn NF4SK8AA-8EKRS - ATX - nForce4 SLI

Any suggestions on what to try next?

Update the lastest windows updates.

Are you using Windows XP with Sp1 or later ?

Using windows XP with SP2, yeah

I'll try and get any new updates though, see if that works.

I thought XP SP2 would automatically find the relevant drivers for USB sticks, dongles etc?
